Can anybody suggest a cheap, easily obtainable > = 400 V, < 2A thru hole MOSFET, preferably one that's designed more for analog use than for sub-ns switching. Thanks. I'm looking to squeeze a cathode follower into an existing vacuum tube amp and adding one MOSFET is easier than adding half a 12AT7.

Looking for a MOSFET with a 100 or 150-200 (would be better), Vds N-channel that can switch a couple amps at a couple MHz, preferably in D-pak or something for ease of compact Manhattan-prototyping. MOSFET-selection is always problematic for me there are so many and the parameters like temperature de-rating and how fast you can switch it at a given temperature all interact so it's hard ...

Hi, I have been trying to build a low-power multiple-output converter that has no regulation at the secondary side. Its purpose is to power many floating MOSFET drivers, so a reasonably too low voltage is not a problem, but to high certainly is. Particularly, the experiments involved powering a mock-up SiC MOSFET driver with +15/-3.3V rails. Therefore, the smoothness of the transition ...

I need to be able to model a mosfet with values of L, W, Vth, Kprime, lamba and gamma, and I'm trying to figure out how to do this with LTSpice. Looking at ltspice mosfet models, they don't have a separate value for K. They have Cgs, W and L. K is a function of Cgs, W, L, and electron mobility. So I could sort of kluge my own mosfet model by choosing Cgs so that K comes out just right. ...

I happened upon this today while looking at other things... BSS126 - 600V, 500 ohms, Idss = 21mA. https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/power/mosfet/60v-600v-n-channel-depletion-mode-mosfet/ I've not used any depletion MOSFETs but I know some of you guys are fans (and I hope to join the fan club someday too)!

Hi, I need to slowly drive a high-voltage high-side MOSFET in a 5kV isolated setup. This use case reminds an electronic fuse: the MOSFET is expected to be almost always ON, but the driver needs to start in an OFF condition. Generally the answer would be Si8261, but it requires ~50mW. So I have devised a much less energy hungry driver based on a tiny 1:1 bipolar drive pulse transformer ...

I have a 75332P MOSFET on a cordless drill controller heatsink. I guess it's part of a pulse width modulator. The drain (flange) connects directly to one of the battery terminals. Does the MOSFET drain go directly to the battery minus/ground terminal? Or does it go to the battery plus terminal? Thanks. -- My application... I'm desperately trying to develop a better inline ...

I found old mosfet transistor IRF843, using 20k and 70k resistor, i manage to set the voltage at transistor gate to 3.9 volt and using 1uF to channel the 27mhz rf signal to the transistor gate, i manage to get an audio from 8ohm speaker connected to the transistor drain. I'm using about 5.3 volt power supply from transformer. The audio is loud and clear. The mosfet gate can received

The datasheet of C3M0065090J says its VGSmax is -4/+15V, but Note (2) says the "MOSFET can also safely operate at 0/15V." What is "safely" supposed to mean? As safely as a Si MOSFET with no negative gate voltage? Could you please share your opinion on SiC device driving based on your actual experience? Best regards, Piotr

VDMOS nonlinear capacitance is modeled in terms of Vgd. Too bad a real MOSFET doesn't show a steplike change in Ciss as Vgd changes sign. (This is easily demonstrated with the gate charge test circuit, watching the waveform at low Vdd. The cutoff slope depends only on Vds, not Vgd.) So many decades of bullshit to sift through...

Have you seen an analysis of the classic op-amp-controlled MOSFET current-source?

Fascinating reading: http://www.irf.com/technical-info/appnotes/an-948.pdf (found from here: http://sound.westhost.com/articles/hexfet.htm) I've heard that the 2SK1058 is superior for audio, and is the only MOSFET spec'ed in Slone's book, but that this MOSFET is currently now unobtanium. What is the purpose of the inductor L1 (3 uH, air core) in series with the speaker? Any commen...

Hi, many papers explain the MOSFET's gate-source charging curve, especially the plateau part of it, by the Miller effect. Sometime this is even briefly called "the Miller plateau". But why? To my understanding, the Miller effect is of entirely dynamic nature and is simply caused by the negative feedback introduced by parasitic capacitances between the input and the output of an inverti...

sci.electronics.design fet for automatic gain control? Any suggestions for an enhancement mode mosfet to serve as a variable resistence element in an automatic gain control type circuit? Power involved is a bare whisper; worst case voltage is probably 30 volts. There may well be a better remidy than an mosfet, but it looks good at this point. Hul

I am building a transfer switch that has two 12v DC inputs and one 12v DC output, current is 10A peak and 4A normally. The switch could comprise 2 pairs of back-to-back P-channel MOSFETs, (the back-to-back prevents reverse flows through the MOSFET's body diode). Should one input fail I need to switch between inputs fast enough such that the output remains on but it is not switching at h...

I became discouraged of finding a suitable low-capacitance zener to protect the MOSFET gates in my high-voltage amplifier designs. (The protection may be optional, but one sleeps better with it in place.) Even the 50uA-rated low-current zener diodes are in fact larger-die types, with high capacitance. For example, the 7.5-volt MMSZ4693 has about 130pF at zero volts. My solution was to us...

In 4-quadrant switching amplifiers, it's quite common to run current through a MOSFET "backwards" when it is on -- i.e., to run an NMOS with the current traveling from source to drain, instead of drain to source. Yet all the data sheets only show 1st-quadrant conduction, with current (for an NMOS) running from drain to source. Which boils down to my real problem: I'm working on a motor...
