Indeed, I was wondering initially how that capacitor is actually discharged, nice circuit and ideal for applications where you need to have a small on/off switch.

That reminds me, I have a whole bunch of those things in a very tiny package, SOT-23-6??? that I used for small H-bridges a few years ago. Sadly they are too tiny for me to use anymore. Wish our eyes kept up with things getting smaller and smaller.

Know what you mean. I'd prob be using SMDs, but for a benign tremor. I'd spend more time picking the damn things up than using them. Bad enough with through-holes !

I used the same with a uC to do a soft on/off latch circuit. Working very well. Even on battery powered device. All is on my instructable page for more detail. DMG6601LVT, SIL2308, DMC3021LSD-13, IRF7319TRPBF, are all pin compatible together. Thanks for sharing.

I speculate that the origin circuit loves (needs) resistive load, hates capacitive load and confused by non linear load. If we put a 10k resistor as output load, probably it will work. If we add a 100uF capacitor at the output, probably it won't work. Just my shallow speculation.

In order to turn on the P-channel MOSFET you should bias it by adding a resistor between source and ground, the gate must have negative voltage in respect to source. Your description about differences between P and N channel MOSFET is not accurate, it’s not about low, or high level voltage. N-channel MOSFET will start conduct when the gate is polarized with positive voltage in respect to source, and P-channel MOSFET will start to conduct when the gate is polarized with negative voltage in respect to source.

Easiest circuit you can make with such a package is a logic inverter. Don't need any external components, just the 2 complementary CMOS transistors.

To ascertain the reason why the original circuit didn't turn off for you, we need to analyse the circuit. When the led is on, the voltage at the gate of the N-channel is close to the output voltage, which is close to the input voltage because the gate of the P-channel is then close to ground and it is in ohmic mode with a low resistance. That assumes that the supply voltage is larger than the threshold voltage of the mosfets (1V to 2.8V). That means that the capacitor is discharged close to ground via the 100K resistor. When the switch is closed, you are then trying to dump the N-channel's gate charge into the capacitor causing the gate voltage to drop and the drain voltage to rise, but the Miller effect will tend to oppose that, with the result that the N-channel's drain does not rise high enough fast enough to turn off the P-channel before the capacitor has charged sufficiently to keep the N-channel from turning off any further. I suspect that this is likely to happen when the supply voltage is 5V or more as that gives sufficient opportunity for charging the capacitor before the N-channel gate voltage can drop below its threshold voltage. By modifying the circuit to use a resistive divider to set the N-channel's gate to only just above its threshold voltage, you increase the chance that closing the switch will turn off the N-channel before the capacitor charges up. You could test this by exploring the effect of different supply voltages on the reliability of the toggle operation. Edit: I suspect that the original circuit was using a power P-channel mosfet and a small-signal N-channel "driver" which, of course, has much smaller associated gate capacitances (the NDS9962A has Ciss of 320pF and Crss of 85pF _typical_ compared with Ciss of 60pF and Crss of 5pF _maximum_ for a 2N7000) so I would expect it to behave rather better than what you experienced.

I wonder if it truly stays latched on indefinitely due to the eventual capacitor leakage.

Thank for this video. Very cool schematic, i will try it!
@gorak90005 ай бұрын
The thing I wonder about the fix is what is the gate voltage at the n-channel when the circuit is on? It's only 1/2 the output voltage. As long as that's "well above" the threshold of the nfet, that's fine, but if it's close to the threshold, the nfet might not be fully on. Maybe it doesn't matter because the nfet doesn't carry any significant current in this circuit anyway. If it was an issue, I'd increase the value of the pull down so that the voltage divider is biased towards the high side, and the nfet gate voltage is a bit higher during "on" phase.
@chrisharper26585 ай бұрын
I'm thinking that if the circuit was connected to a larger circuit load, the pull-down resistor may not have been needed but I think its a good idea. Better safe than sorry.

@williamogilvie69095 ай бұрын
Before you added the resistor the P channel FET turned off momentarily when the switch was pressed a second time. That allowed the capacitor to charge up to whatever voltage is required to turn the N channel FET back on. The brief duration of the P channel FET being off is sometimes noticeable as the LED blinks. A much shorter button press would work. With the added resistor the capacitor can't charge up enough to turn the N channel FET back on. If you look at the original circuit with a scope you will see how the P channel FET turns off momentarily, allowing the N channel FET to turn back on. Another circuit built at random with no analysis.
@AttilaAsztalos5 ай бұрын
Indeed. At first glance my first gut feeling was "wtf, this doesn't seem to be properly bistable - it will toggle but will feed back and go around again..."

I wouldn't use it in a medical device. I see no bistable nor hysteresis circuit here.
@williamogilvie69094 ай бұрын
@@bayareapianist Using the P channel FET is a bad idea. Not blaming the author of this video. The P channel FET has a higher ON resistance. Using this chip in a motor control H bridge is not a good idea either. An H bridge that mixes P channel and N channel FETs has a discontinuity at the zero crossing. Also a lack of symmetry. Try to use an H bridge like that with a PID controller and stability will be a problem. And no one wants to use P channel Fetus anyway. 4 N channel FETs, with low Ron, and driven with highside/lowside drivers is the way to go. There are lots of good integrated H bridges available.
@henrikstenlund53855 ай бұрын
Good job. I have used the traditional npn-pnp circuit working similarly but carrying a few components more. I noted with it that in noisy environments it is required to have capacitors 10 nF to ground or so, at the bases to prevent glitches. I assume this circuit may be just as sensitive and needs to be slowed down a bit.

It can count in binary 👍 Only up to 1 but it CAN count. If you had two of them then it could count up to 3. Three of them could count up to 7. So, someone with altogether too much time on their hands could build a computer out of them. Lol.

Digikey describes the NDS9952A as "obsolete" ... none are available at Digikey, Mouser, or at JLCPCB. LCSC Has 3 pieces from alternate supplier VB Semi of Taiwan. Of course, there are plenty of other N/P pairs

@TomLeg5 ай бұрын
This power switch is something I wanted in my arsenal, so I drew up the system in Kicad. Since I couldn't find the 9952, I searched Digikey for N/P mosfet pairs, with Rds On up to 25mO. Looking at 57 remaining options, Diodes inc DMC 3025LSD-13 shows stock of 35,000 pieces at a good price $0.66US. The one downside is the advertised RdsOn was for the N Channel, and it's the P channel that's doing the heavy lifting. That only gives 45mOhm. So for a 12V supply (I'm thinking in terms of eurorack systems) this would be 1W at 5A. Are there other characteristics I should be focusing on?

The 100k + capacitor is slow enough to avoid bounces on/off I think the problem with the original circuit is the 10k pull-up that is too strong. Replace it with 100k and you won't need the extra 10k (I hope)

read the datasheet: "These devices are particularly suited for low voltage applications such as notebook computer power management and other battery powered circuits where fast switching, low in-line power loss, and resistance to transients are needed." of course other applications are up to the imagination

5:36 “…well anyway…” is not the clearest circuit description 🤣 Great little cct though, thanks for sharing. Basically the cap is discharged all the time the output is ON, by the N MOSFET. When the switch is closed, the cap’s low voltage pulls the N mosfet’s gate low, which switches both mosfets off.
