Power MOSFET Types and Applications: A Selection Guide
Compare N-channel and P-channel, trench, superjunction and SiC MOSFETs, then match each device family to its voltage, gate-drive and application requirements.
How Power MOSFETs Work and How to Read a Datasheet
Read how a power MOSFET switches and interpret VDS, VGS, RDS(on), gate charge, SOA and thermal ratings using datasheet test conditions.
Synchronous Rectification vs. Diode Rectification: When Is the MOSFET Worth It?
A worked 24 V-to-12 V, 10 A buck example shows when MOSFET rectification can reduce conduction loss.
A practical guide to LiPo voltage, VDS margin, current, RDS(on) and thermal checks for multirotor ESCs.
Choosing a MOSFET Voltage Class: A Practical VDS Rating Guide
Choose a VDS rating from maximum bus voltage, switching overshoot and measured design margin.
