Best way actually is to connect HV DC type capacitor with ground of capacitor on common ground then a fast shottky "steering" diode connected between the drain (if mosfet) to the positive of cap. Cap will fill like crazy if steering diode pointed in correct direction. Discharging capacitor to load occasionally (battery to charge if you want) creates real power upon discharge. The cap will suck up all the Destructive Transients never problem with voltage spikes anymore and you get some power happening when cap discharges. Have two caps two diode and alternate their discharge so never a period of time during a discharge when transistor or mosfet is not protected by steering diode and cap.

That works if the capacitor is big enough and you provide additional circuitry to discharge the capacitor (to the load or to a battery). It is a bit complicated for a first course in electronics.

Does the voltage spike when switchig off cause electromagnetic noise? 3.What if one adds a capacitor on purpose parallel to the parasitic capasitance,,would that decrease the voltage spike?
@gasstationwithoutpumps

1. The gate is a conductor, the drain and source are conducting semiconductors (and the channel, when the FET is on). There is an insulating oxide material between the gate and source/drain/channel. Hence, a capacitor (the Miller capacitance). But the capacitance being discussed here is mainly wiring capacitance-any pair of conductors that are not connected together are insulated from each other and so have some capacitance dependent on their size, position, and insulating materials. 2. The voltage spike and associated current are electrical noise-when the current flows through a wire, a magnetic field is created, so there is electromagnetic noise created. 3. Putting in a larger capacitance lowers the frequency of the LC tank, which can spread out the spike making it somewhat lower voltage but ringing longer.

As long as you run the current in one direction, you will be increasing the AgCl coating on one electrode. How long you run it depends on how much coating you want.

Your reference resistor should be about the same size as the measured impedance, so that the voltages across each component are in the same range. If not, then the smaller impedance will have a very small voltage across it, making for inaccurate measurement. Often, if you have no idea of the size of the impedance, you make a couple of measurements: first with an arbitrary reference (like 1kΩ) to get a rough estimate of the impedance, then again with a more appropriate size. I often use different reference resistors for different frequency ranges, if the impedance is largely inductive or capacitive, and so changes a lot with frequency.

You've just articulated the reason why I have stopped using semiconductors to switch inductors - the need to add extra components just to protect your switch. For example, I have a high-current 12V solenoid that I want to switch briefly with energy from a capacitor bank, using an adjustable timer circuit to dump the load into the solenoid coil. My system works perfectly when replacing the solenoid coil with an incandescent lamp, but when I try to sub in the solenoid, the back-emf fries even my strongest MOSFETS, IGBTs etc, no matter how high their supposed voltage ratings. It got too expensive in semiconductors, and too much trouble to solder in <protection> diodes... so I am back to using electromechanical relays to switch the current to the solenoid. Luckily the back-EMF from the relay coil doesn't seem to worry my smaller and cheaper MOSFET acting between it and the timer. Sometimes old tech is more trustworthy and resilient than newer in my experience.

@gasstationwithoutpumps Жыл бұрын
Electromechanical relays are still used when you want a simple on-off function, especially when you are switching AC currents, but if you are frying semiconductors in the application, then you probably will have only limited life from the contacts in the relay. Snubbing or free-wheeling diodes are essential, though, so if you've been omitting them, then it is no wonder that you've been frying your semiconductors.

Different FETs operate at different speeds-high-current ones tend to have very large gate charges (because of the large area of the gate to get sufficient channel width) and so are difficult to switch quickly-even getting over a MHz can be difficult. Tiny logic FETs, such as are used in modern processors, can switch at several GHz.

good presentation...during my time at a certain mobile device manufacturer (13 years ago), developing DC/DC converters, switching speed was the double-edged sword, as you want fast switching, but EMC is a problem, and that "wasted" energy in total capacitance comes from precious run-time, i worked on driver ideas to get to the Miller plateau "instantly", then a controlled slew rate through that, and a terminated/controlled overvoltage for the on-time... you "only" need to know actual capacitance of the first two segments, and a "useful" Vgth + desired headroom...possible, then, to get very quickly to turn-on, have a desired slew rate of the switch, but with very little "extra" gate charge, and equally-fast turn-off... not something you do in discrete logic, but fairly do-able in a complex driver. cheers!

Because my course was the second half of a first electronic course, I had to keep things fairly simple in this video, so I could not get into sophisticated driver design (even if I knew anything about the subject). Students doing the class-D amplifier lab do run into problems from too-slow or too-fast switching. THe problem they have is not so much from the electrical noise as from shoot-through current from not turning off the pFET as fast as the nFET turns on. Changing what pFET and nFET are used (as we did almost every year as cheap FETs reached end of life and became unavailable) or what voltage we operated at changed the tradeoffs, so students couldn't blindly copy designs.

Hi Kevin, first, i appreciate your YT content. I actually find that the way of doing the courses in a theoretical or academic way is good. Students are quickly tired of theory and love the practice.

Regarding the price of your book, I find that there is a huge difference between the price of the paper (which seems too high to me compared to what is usually done - eg: malvino, etc.) and the pdf version whose price is really very low. For the rest, I saw that lately you put videos that have nothing to do with electronics. A suggestion would be to make a separate string.

You can also add a Zener Diode (in the reverse direction) in series with the normal diode. The Zener diode will allow the voltage to rise higher than Vdd+0.7, and the spike will dissipate faster. Use a diode with as high voltage as possible that your drive transistor can handle (leave some safety margin). For example, if your Vdd is 12V and your drive transistor can tolerate 35V Vds, choose a Zener voltage of 12-18 V.

The transimpedance amplifier would keep a constant bias on the phototransistor, which makes the output voltage linear with the amount of light. Using just a bias resistor would have a bit more nonlinearity as the bias voltage on the phototransistor varies with the light level. If you are doing a low-precision measurement (like on/off) then the bias resistor is all you need. Look also at the log-transimpedance section/video, for a way to get wide-range measurement of light.
