Very nice. Where I apply MOSFET's is drone ESC 's (Electronic Speed Control) for RC cars, plane's, boats and whatever. So... Very nice video but the previous post under mine was correct. It is an NMOS logic circuit. You should have built a PLC (Programmable Logic Circuit) out of it. And controlled electric motors since people tend to find that more interesting. And then you could even include true stories of how the CIA created the STUXNET virus, or actually worm. That targets SCADA systems. And destroyed the Iranian centrifuges. Used to separate spent nuclear reactor fuel, into weapons grade plutonium. But, (sigh) this none the less, gives people a good understanding of how FET's operate. And how you can apply them. Especially when you inform us about the static sensitivity of MOSFET's. Which is important because drones tend to build static electricity and people wonder why the drone keeps burning up motors and ESC's. Also carbon fiber which is used in drone frames is also a good conductor of electric current. Altgough light and dourable if touched on the sides where carbon fibers are exposed, it can burn stuff up. Especially in naked racing drones. Anyhow.... Outstanding. Thumb up for you sir. Sorry bout the long post. If you find this annoying dont read it.

One thing that should be mentioned is that 78 amps is for the absolute maximum. The chip will survive, but it's not meant to operate at that much current normally. There should be another section for the recommended operating conditions, which are more in line with what they can operate at in reality and still be expected to work properly during and after. On the subject of the MOSFET's gate not being a touch sensor, I've seen circuits meant for beginners which uses a JFET as a static sensor by building up a charge and touching it. Felt all sorts of wrong.

At 17:20, the reason the diode is one direction is because the other side of the get opposite the gate is a metal pad that acts as a capacitor of sorts. It is connected to the drain (on an n channel fet). This causes the insulator to stop insulating, because it forces free electrons from the dopant to collect near the gate in the substrate, and they then carry the current from source to drain.

THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO! A few tid-bits though: (1) @ 28:45 It is MUCH easier to insert these TO220 packages into a breadboard if you twist the leads 90 degrees with a pair of needle-nosed pliers. The mosfet will then go right into the breadboard like a resistor. (2) When you want to demo the switch by charging and discharging the gate charge with your hands: put the other hand on the '+' or '-' rails not recommended). 3) I cringed a bit every time I saw you slide the FET across the paper. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE GREAT VIDEO!!!
@VoidHalo4 жыл бұрын
It's harder with new boards to insert TO-220 packages. I find it helps to stick a jumper in the hole and wiggle it around a bit to loosen up the copper fins inside. The downside to using a large gauge pin like on a TO-220 is the fins will always be loose after that, so anything you try putting in that's a smaller gauge doesn't make proper contact. It's a real bitch if it happens on your power rails. Took me forever to figure out why my circuits kept working intermittently when that happened. Also, metal sliding on paper isn't going to create much of a static charge, if that's what you're implying. ESD isn't really something that's a huge issue for hobbyists anyways. I'm not saying you shouldn't be aware of it, but the scare mongering surrounding ESD is blown way out of proportion.

How you selected 330ohm resistor between 5vdc & Drain pin? What is the formula for calculate this? For eg 12vdc Please explain
@tonyfremont4 жыл бұрын
It's an arbitrary choice. At 5V, the max current is going to be approximately 15mA (5V/330R = .015A). Max power dissipation would be 5*.015 or 75mW. It's all about Ohms Law. You could easily select a 1K resistor and the LED would still be plenty bright enough. A lot of people go to silly lengths to get the LED current at a full 20mA (often the limit). This is a needless waste of electricity and the LED life will be greatly shortened. I find that most LEDs look fine with only 1mA of current. You should be able to find plenty of videos showing more details on how to select the "right" resistor. If your using battery power, you'd probably want to use as large a resistor you can, that gives suitable brightness. You'd also probably want to put the LED in seties with the resistor and drain so that power is dissipated only when the LED is switched on, not all the time.

Yes, manufacturers always mandate the use of anti-static precautions just to cover their assess. No, accidentally killing a MOSFET just by touching it in practice almost never happens and so it's a non-issue. True even for tiny flimsy low-power SMD MOSFETs.

THANK YOU. It's nice to see somebody being reasonable about the risk of an ESD for once. I just replied to another comment about how cringey it was when he slid the FETs on a piece of paper. I rarely store my active components in proper ESD safe packaging. Most of them are in plain ziplock bags cuz ESD bags won't fit in my parts bin's drawers. In the 3 years I've been doing this, I've never once had an issue with an ESD. Even in the dead of Winter when the air's so dry it gives me nosebleeds. The scaremongering regarding ESD gets ridiculous. The most I do is make sure to discharge myself on a grounded piece of metal before I handle anything. Especially if, for example, I just took off my sweater and I can hear/feel the static on me. And more often than not, I do get a big spark when I discharge myself like that. But even then, unless I'm referencing a circuit to Earth, which I never do, it's not very likely I'll have an ESD into anything.

@@VoidHalo Many years ago had a chat with a disk drive installer on IBM mainframes. He was all earthed out and strapped up. I asked about the static risk and he said that while it was rare for a device to fail during handling they did experience damage which shortened their life or reduced their operating parameters. So I always adhere to static handling advice.

Thanks, this worked and I was able to get my mosfet to turn on! although it didnt when i had the resistor to ground, it did when I had the resistor to positive? maybe something was loose originally and was corrected it when i rewired it the other way, your way , but from what i remember reading it shouldnt matter the order of the resistor. Which i always thought strange but thats another subject. Also my mosfet didnt stay on when i took it off 5v, which was nice actually I didnt have to ground it to turn the led back on, instant on and off when i touch and released it, nice effect but not sure why i got a different result? I did salvage it , and mabybe heated it too much with the soldering iron? I also soldered exention legs onto it so i fit it into a breadboard easier and think i might have done some damage then, maybe that capacitor that holds onto its charge and keeps the mosfet on when you take it off the was damaged to account for this behaviour?Sort of like how you were saying a damaged one would still work but with wonky behaviour if you blew it, although i didnt blow it with excess voltage, but maybe too much heat? Or this is just normal behaviour for my particular mosfet? Anyway thanks for the tutorial, and i apologize for all these questions im sure ill find the answers too with a little more investigating. This video really helped in understanding how they work and what too look for in the datasheet so i can use one in a circuit, many thanks.
@mikejones-vd3fg Жыл бұрын
Apon further investigation it turns out the mosfet is indeed malfunctioning someway, as i tried another one of the same kind and it did stay on after voltage was take off the gate. Tried the suspected overheated one agin to make sure and sure enough it turns off as soon as you remove the voltage. Fascinating, I kind of like the way the broken one reacts, turning off right away. I wonder how it broke inside to make this behaviour? and if theres an application for it? hmmm

After my 77th mosfet video and 40+ data sheets, still confused a little. I am a retired auto tech, but have built a number of electronics. More information on what is safe to turn on a n channel mosfet....other than dinner and a bottle of sweet red wine, it would be shocking to get positive results. In a truck, an automatic w/over drive can overheat. I have a 28 amp fan pushing air across a new old stock A/C condenser that can handle 400 PSI. The automotive electrical system can vary from 12.8 Vdc to 14.6 Vdc. Using a tube or probe NTC thermistor inside the fins of this little radiator looking thing, hooked to a 10k pot, used as a voltage divider. Big words, my 60’s English teacher would be...passed away. But, place a 100 ohms resistor between the divider and gate to allow the mosfet to operated an external relay. Fluid gets hot, fan ramps up then maybe full fan speed then slows and off. I just want a robust circuit added to my service manual, but an external relay is in the group of many others. (Depending on your vehicle, it can have make it easy for diagnostics with out hunting to bend under a dash. No one likes that, if you can make it easy. Any thoughts?

Keep it simple :) I think you want to compare your voltage to some other voltage you can set. A simple LM2903 comparator would work. Look for a circuit called "comparator with hysteresis" since you don't want the output clicking on and off rapidly when the voltage is approximately equal. Then keep it really simple by adding a heavy-duty relay that the comparator can drive. You would drive the coil in the relay with a mosfet! Search for "relay driver mosfet" and you'll get tons of ideas. Good luck!

It is a parasitic component! There is a substrate with some conductivity (let's say P for N-MOS). Then you have a P channel between D and S on the substrate (yes, they are symetric). But you drive the ransistor by electric field between the gate and the substrate so it is connected to the S. But there's a PN junction between the substrate and the channel. On the S side it is short, on the D side it acts as a diode... For the switching supplies there are extra types that uses this diode and some of them has schottky diode inside ( FETKY ) When you have to eliminate that (e.g. if you have to switch off the battery without charge/discharge over the MOSFET) you have to use two FETs in series with connected gates and connected by sources together. It slower, it has biggest price, it has double lost but it works...

Sure, it's a mishap that this "conventional current" vs actual electron flow came up in the first place, but we're stuck with it since, I think, Benjamin Franklin. But in fact, it doesn't really matter, and you'll get used to it eventually.

The source terminal is where the charge carriers for the current within the FET come from, during normal operation. It's the same for N- and P- channel devices. You're sort of talking about current "outside" of the MOSFET, and yeah, electrons will flow into the source and out of the drain on the outside, but change it to a P-channel device (and flip the resistor and transistor) and it'd be the other way around.

The "Load", which DRAIN the voltage in a useful manner, is (generally) toward the DRAIN pin of the MOSFET, while the SOURCE is connected toward the voltage SOURCE (and not toward the "load" which drains the supplied power). For a N-Chanel, the SOURCE pin is connected toward the N_egative side of that battery, as N is N; and for a P-Chanel, the Source pin of the MOSFET is connected toward the P_ositive side of the battery, as P is P. For a N-Chanel, the "Load" is thus (in general) at a higher voltage than the MOSFET (the load is said to be at the high side), while for P-Chanel, the "Load" is at a lower voltage than the transistor (the load is said to be at a low side). So, if you prefer to consider the conventional current, for any reason, for a N-Chanel MOSFET, the conventional current is generally from drain pin to source pin (against the arrow on the symbol) while, for a P-chanel, the conventional current is from source to drain (along the arrow on the symbol). Note, though, that for P-chanel, MOST datasheets consider that the current is still positive from drain pin to source pin, so the value given are ... negative... on the datasheet. MOST... but not all. And it is confusing MOST of the time :-) *About the arrow*, I am used to the symbol with the grid like pattern for an enhanced MOSFET. There are some symbols using the REVERSE direction for the arrow just to add to the confusion, as if it was needed. The author of this video uses these symbols while I was having in mind the grid like symbol (as at www.fairchildsemi.com/datasheets/2N/2N7000.pdf for example, for a N Chanel), so the arrow direction is all but confusing, without a specific drawing. If you assume that a N Chanel matches a NPN BJT, you have to admit that the arrows directions are ... reversed ! at least, if you take the symbol given in the datasheet, as given here up.

+Persona, +snnwstt So, are you saying that my little mnemonic ain't working for P-channel? To be honest, I have to think it over almost every time again, it is confusing. And right now, I am confused again.

I feel very sorry to see no popularity for this teacher. I think It's you tubes mistake. even I wouldn't have watched this video unless KZbin suggested me this.

It will be great it you had printed schematic circuits with all the values rather than hand drawn....

To be honest, I like to see how he builds the schematics. It takes just a bit more time and explanation which makes it a bit easier to follow along. I'm a programmer. I know a bit about electronics, but hardly anything about schematics. Once I'm more experienced with this stuff I would probably agree with you. But since I'm almost a total beginner I prefer the way he did it :)
