Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor, a type of field-effect transistor (FET). MOSFETs have an insulated gate, the voltage of which determines the conductivity of the device. This can be used for amplifying or switching electronic signals. (From: Wikipedia)

I am so confused about lighting electronic matches with altimeter

Your 9 V battery has too high internal resistance to supply 5 A at 8.4 V. From the datasheet, it has about 3 Ω, so with a short circuit you get about 3 A max (and no voltage). To have 5 A at 8.4 V, yo …

Can I Exceed a N Channel MOSFET's -Vgs Rating When Using It as a High Side Switch

No, you will break down the gate oxide layer. If you’re lucky, it may take years. Absolute max ratings are there for a reason. Don’t exceed them.

MOSFET as a switch to control 12 solenoid valves using arduino

Your MOSFET needs to have: Low enough Vgs, gate threshold voltage so that your 3.3 V from the arduino will switch it. …

MOSFET connection within oscillating circuit

Move your V4 source from ground to source of top left transistor. If LTspice complains about it floating/takes forever to simulate, add a 1 Mohm resistor to ground. No gate-source voltage. No. Ye …

High voltage supply MOSFET inverter

Many possible ways to make it happen. Here is one with only discrete components: The downside is that it will consume a few mA of current as long as the battery is connected.

Is this driver/FET combination wrong?

Your output voltage will be 5V_IN-Vgs(th) of your MOSFET. Yes, a P-FET would be very suitable for this application. …

Relay Vs MOSFET or IGBT

20 A is probably too low to justify the forward voltage drop of an IGBT versus spending the same money on MOSFETs. Relay is the cheapest option but reliability will suffer since they can stick and w …

Can PCB dissipate heat from MOSFET so that a heatsink is not needed

Which revision of the datasheet are you using? I see 1.0 W listed for 25 degree ambient. Anyhow, the PCB material itself if very bad at dissipating heat, you need copper planes to do anything. The DMP …

What effect does having a constant +12V on the drain have on an N-channel MOSFET?

Your drain is fine, but you are operating the gate outside of what your MOSFET is rated for unless you magic timer block somehow outputs a lower voltage. … However, your schematic is bogus as the MOSFET shorts out the powersupply. You want your MOSFET in series with your LED+resistor, not parallel to it. …

DC motor causing project to work unexpectedly

Looks like your circuit is missing a decoupling capacitor. If you have a motor in the circuit, you will probably trigger undervoltage lockout/brownout protection followed by restart. The normal decou …

Why is IRFZ44N MOSFET with ESP 8266 always closed?

You need either a MOSFET driver (or some level sifter) or a MOSFET with lower Vgs(th). Your gate voltage from your ESP needs to be significantly higher than the rated Vgs(th) of the MOSFET. …

DCM vs CCM Noise Spectrum

Here is a really quick and dirty simulation for you. Several downsides: no filters what so ever and would not transfer the same amount of power. Just the top switch waveform difference.

Why is my inverter circuit outputting this waveform?

Your high side MOSFETs are N-channel, so you need gate voltages above 12 V to turn them on. Presently, your opamp which drives them are driven from the same 12 V rail so they can't turn on. Either you …
