Understanding Power MOSFET data sheet parameters

By AP, 

            
Fabulous piece of literature from NXP (here’s the link to a cool pdf). Nothing beats a well written material. So it seems that I have some very interesting thing to do this evening: printing this and have a good read. This comes on perfect timing for my MOSFET dummy load project !


Quoting from NXP’s material:






This user manual explains the parameters and diagrams given in an NXP Semiconductors Power MOSFET data sheet. The goal is to help an engineer decide what device is most suitable for a particular application.

The layout of this data sheet is representative of the general arrangement of NXP power MOSFET data sheets.








NXP Power MOSFETs are designed with particular applications in mind. For example, switching charge is minimized where switching losses dominate, whereas on-resistance is minimized where conductive losses dominate…

NSOutlineView — Inside Out
By AP,  
This is the first part of a series I intend to maintain on NSOutlineView. Some NSOutlineView basics and a very simple example.

Ok. Today was THE mail day. I’ve received both my electronic parts orders, the one from RF Parts and the one from DigiKey, that I placed several weeks ago (but had some issues with a couple of backordered items). Ta–Da ! This is it: A lot of bags and goodies. Not to mention the pleasure of sorting […]

                        

                            
                                                            
                        

                    

                

                

                

                    

                        
My first order from RF Parts…

I was looking for a RF power module for my APRS beacon project and stumbled upon RF Parts. They are somehow of a niche–oriented online electronic part retailers, specialised on RF and — it seems — mostly on Ham Radio RF parts. I placed my order for two Mitsubishi power RF MOSFET Amplifier Modules and the package […]

Mailbag today 2 ! This time from NXP. OMFG, look what I got ! This baby will definitely end up in a power RF amplifier for my Ham Radio fun time. This will be a project. THANK YOU NXP ! Got them both today ! And I have to tell you, the girls and guys […]
