Greetings, gentlemen, As we all know, to get maximum efficiency out of a MOSFET, it needs to be driven hard and fast and spend as little time between fully on and fully off as possible. Does that same principle extend to Triacs? And if so, how can that best be implemented when one has to use AC to drive the gate? CD.

I was digging through le junque bocs yesterday looking for a TO-92 MOSFET, and found a bag of what I dimly remember as being such. But my memory is too dim, and I used a PN2222 with a base resistor instead. So before I throw these out, can anyone recognize the part? If I know what it is I can mark the bag and have it as a resource. Otherwise I'll probably trash it. It's a TO-92 ...

Here's a new section I'm hoping to complete, so it can be added to the x-Chapter book before it goes to the printer in a few weeks.

Gentlemen, I want to build an experimental test rig for controlling a 5 cylinder diesel engine. Obviously no ignition circuitry is required; it's just the fuel injector pulsing I need to worry about. The injector solenoids in question are very low DC resistance (~0.3 ohms!) and suck about 30A through current-limiting resistors when actuated. Now, the duty cycle is very, very small. A f...

Some time ago James Arthur sent here a notification about the IMBF170R1K0M1XTMA1 SiC MOSFET. I have just re-prototyped one of my wide input range flybacks, and the results are excellent. The performance is comparable to the one with the 1700V C2M Cree part, but the converter's structure is much simpler, which is good for reliability. Thanks, James. Best regards, Piotr

I'm designing a power amplifier using some Exicon lateral MOSFETs as the final common-source stage. These will be used in various experimental systems. Each only needs to run around +/-50V out, up to 4A, and driving sinusoidally between 50 and 400kHz. The load can be approximated as a lossy series LC circuit, driven near resonance with R generally 10-20 ohms. There's an additional > 200

Could some electronics guru please help ? I was running a SPICE simulation of an H bridge for an inverter, with 12 V DC input. The H bridge has PMOS on the high side and NMOS on the ground side. The switching works fine, and the output waveform looks exactly as it should, except that the amplitude is in the milliVolt range. I have adjusted the MOSFET sizes but that has not been very helpful. ...
