Because the gate of a mosfet is a capacitor, and the mosfet won't turn on (or off) until it is charged (or discharged). A big resistor will slow it down tremendously.
Thank you so much once again
I am having an issue though my output keeps oscillating therefore my mosfet doesnt' stay off because of it.
using a bipolar trigger how do i set my hysteresis values to -1V for lower and 3V for upper
bipolar trigger is used because this ensures that the...
increasing the 47ohm resistance to 470kΩ did remedy the situation.
So can you please explain to me the fault condition i tried to simulate, since it is now obvious the fault condition is not the current in the 200Ω increasing.
What is the fault then?
Quick question. Before the fault current...
yes i have it triggers correctly
when the input is above the upper trigger point the the trigger outputs a low
when it falls below the lower trigger point a high
so i should change my bipolar trigger to a unipolar trigger
ok
When you say the mosfet switch opens you mean turn off to...
Thanks carl
I am not simulating or going to be building with anything higher than +/- 20V
Do you know anything about hybrid circuits
i.e. mechanical switch+mosfet switch
to interrupt a circuit to help protect it
Oh really wow!...
The attached circuit is a hybrid circuit breaker.
The voltage controlled switch is used to simulate a mechanical circuit breaker and the Mosfet is to act as my solid state circuit breaker
They are both being controlled by the schmitt trigger
the point of the circuit...
Thanks
yes i want the switch to increase the current through the 1ohm resistor when the switch closes.
so that a voltage in the opposite direction is induced and goes into the negative input of my opamp
What i actually expected when i caculated it on paper was that when the switch is...
hi, sorry i have been out of touch for a while could you please tell me why
in this circuit the 200ohm resistor current drops from 100mA to 80mA when the switch closes at 1ms
meanwhile it should increase
My entire circuit attached to it would make no sense unless the current in the 200ohm...
no just an exercise
still deciding if i want to be an engineer
the quad switch was only to be used in simulation but seeing its limitations it still won't have worked.
i am using a push switch as my mech switch causing the overcurrent
i am using the CD4013B as my flip flop
and LM393 as my...
hi, do you know anything on CMOS Quad bilateral switch.
I am using this switch instead of a timed switch since the time switch doesn't respond to the Mosfet turning off.
About the Mosfet i am using an n-channel i was connecting the mosfet wrong that's why it wasn't working the way i wanted it...
