Hi.
I would like to design a simple linear HV regulator using an LR8 IC with IRF840 MOSFETS as the pass transistors.
I will also be adding current limiting before the MOSFET input. I think to start I will design a few low voltage PSUs and work my way up.
I understand the basic principles of operation but when I come to look at the data sheets I have no firm grasp of the graphical representations of MOSFET characteristics. When I search for something like "Designing with power MOSFETS" all that returns are results for switching power supplies or MOSFET amplifiers.
If anyone knows of a good book, e-book, PDF, web site etc, that I can study from it would be greatly appreciated if you would post your suggestions please.
Thank you, Ginger Beard
