SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the switching frequency of a MOSFET, specifically considering the impact of an 8 kΩ pull-up resistor on the charging and discharging times. The user seeks a method to determine the maximum switching frequency based on these parameters. Reference is made to ON Semiconductor's application note AN1090, which provides detailed guidelines for such calculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of MOSFET operation and characteristics
  • Familiarity with RC time constant calculations
  • Knowledge of pull-up resistor effects on switching speed
  • Basic circuit analysis skills
NEXT STEPS
  • Review ON Semiconductor's application note AN1090 for detailed calculations

How can I calculate how fast I can switch the mosfet? I have the 8 kohm pull up so I think that impacts my charging discharging time? But how do I go abotu calculating it.
