A Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) is a fundamental building block of modern electronics. It is a field-effect transistor (FET) where the voltage applied to a terminal (gate) ...
MOSFETs have been the chosen transistor technology in most Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) since the mid 1980’s. MOSFETs are used as the main switching transistor as well as to improve efficiency ...
When powering a battery operated circuit, the experimenter must make a decision: either take his chances (Murphy loves this one), or opt to add protection in the form of a simple series diode.
