Basic doubt regarding attached circuit

Could some one give me a quick answer why voltage drop at the drain of M1 is 4.611V and not 5V. Since the N-FET is non conducting, it acts as a open. similarly the diode should also be off and open....

N-Mosfet switch circuit strange behavior laboratory power supply

I’m dealing with an N-Mosfet switch circuit to control, through PWM, the temperature of a heater resistor. The mosfet is a IRFS7430-7PPBF. The load is driven at 12V and has a power rating of 80W. Since...

What is the purpose of these extra 'level shifter' BJTs on a MOSFET H-Bridge?

I am working on a 2WD Arduino project. Making the H-Bridge myself, and not using an IC like the L293 is a requirement for my project. After searching a while, I came across this, and based on this I...

Limit the current of a fixed voltage via MOSFET+PWM

I have a SMPS which I would like to current limit. The current limiter should have a negligible voltage drop when not limiting (say, <0.5%). I thought of inserting a MOSFET and a hall-effect current...

Calculating the input current drawn by a MOSFET driver

I am using a PIC32MZ’s OC pins (PWM mode, fault disabled) as input to a dual MOSFET driver (ISL89163 A). I need one OC pin to drive 3 drivers i.e 6 inputs each. The pulse width would be around...

what is the real DC power dissipated by an inductor that is pulsed on off

A meter indicates a higher DC power being delivered to a circuit consisting of an inductor switched on and off by a MOSFET on both the high and low side, than the heat measured by a thermistor. The...

How to drive a MOSFET from AC wih max efficiency?

Short version: if I needed to drive a MOSFET from mains AC, that will be switching (PWMing) mains AC as well, and needed to do this “fast and often”* how should I derive the power to drive it’s gate...

MOSFET as a VCCS or an variable resistance

I am a bit confused. In saturation region, sometimes, an MOSFET is called voltage-controlled current source and sometimes it is called variable resistor where its resistance is controlled by the...

What happens when the MOSFET isn't conducting, circuit-wise?

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab For Vin below threshold voltage, M1 isn’t conducting, neither does M2 since Id=0. So what happens circuit wise, how come that Vdd=Vout ( we...

Mosfet contradiction?

My lack of knowledge makes me see this as contradictory, but: I’ve read that mosfets are better (especially for logic gates) over BJT, because they don’t consume power, don’t require so much voltage...
