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.

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 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.

I am looking for an inexpensive P-Channel enhancement node SOT-23 case MOSFET that will suit my design. See http://siliconventures.net/images/P%20Channel%20MOSFET.PNG The M9 transistor will have a source voltage of between 18 and 28 volts maximum. Getting a MOSFET whose Source - Drain voltage (when off, in this case) is greater than 28 volts is no issue. I can easily get them for

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

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...
