There should be NO current into or out of the gate current.View attachment 330927
I'm using this circuit to feed 24V to a servo motor, when I power it on, the TXS stops working and all outputs send 4.1V and even the 3.3V line become a 4.1V.
Is there something wrong with the circuit?
Maybe too much current drown from gate pin?
The motor current is 4.2V at peak
It works, but it shorts the TXS out, idk why. I'm using the IRF1404 because I have them arround from another project, but it coud be any N-Channel MOSFETThere should be NO current into or out of the gate current.
IRF140 is OLD. Does it still work? Have you got the right connections to the TO3 case?
Misread that - thought it was the old IRF140.It works, but it shorts the TXS out, idk why. I'm using the IRF1404 because I have them arround from another project, but it coud be any N-Channel MOSFET
It is working normally when connected without the MOSFET, if I power the motor directly it works perfectly, but I need a way to power down the motor if the ALM gets triggered and there's some issue. But without the feature everything is okHave you got OE pulled High at power up? I realise the datasheet only talks about it being in the enabled state when high, but I wonder if it could go into a latch-up state in this case also? Best to try it the recommended way, initially pulled down, then enabled once power is stable.
