Apr 20, 2007 · A Pmos depletion mode transistor conducts fully when its gate is at the same DC voltage as its source. It is cutoff when its gate is more positive than its source. Look up the circuit from the datasheet of a clock IC from a cheap clock radio. They still use old Pmos but I don't know if it is depletion or enhancement.

Sep 3, 2011 · My circuit designs should be regarded as experimental. Although they work in simulation, their component values may need altering or additional components may be necessary when the circuits are built. Due safety precautions should be taken with any circuit involving mains voltage or electrostatic-sensitive components. Alec's First Law:-

Oct 21, 2022 · Below is the LTspice simulation of the circuit using a low-cost LM431 adjustable reference in place of the Zener, so you can set the voltage to the desired value with pot U2. The output (yellow trace) is cutoff when the voltage reaches 15V and turns back on at about 14.4V (for about a 0.6V hysteresis caused by R4).

Jan 2, 2015 · The circuit is to drive a 12V, 3A LED Module (for simplicity). The inputs are from 2 pins of microcontroller (PIC @5V). One pin controls one channel of NPN darlington transistor array (Darl-NPN) connected to gate of a PMOS to provide 12V Drive output voltage and current to …

Aug 21, 2011 · Hello, I was just wondering about the orientation of the High side switch in a synchronous boost converter. For PMOSFETs the source terminal is usally tied high, so would the following configuration be correct? **broken link removed** Should the PMOSFET source and drain be switched...

Mar 29, 2014 · This circuit is a little more complex but it can generate a voltage drop of less than a volt (about one base-emitter voltage drop) during normal operation depending upon the current limit range. The circuit below uses a P-MOSFET as the current limit element and a PNP to detect the voltage drop across the shunt resistor R1.

Jul 31, 2023 · Hi all, In my application, I want to drive a load using either 3.3V (from a LDO) or from a 5V USB supply. I also want to be able to enable or disable this 3.3V by using a PMOS with the gate connected to a micrcontroller. The circuit I have in mind is shown below. If …

Mar 18, 2022 · think these circuits are classified as pass transistors. For example, look at image part "(d)" below. The drain of PMOS is at higher potential compared to the source, and the source of NMOS is at higher potential compared to the drain. I don't know how such circuits are working in reverse manner where drain and source terminals have been reversed.

Aug 31, 2007 · Note that the MOSFET is connected "backwards" on purpose because the FET will conduct in both directions. Rather than using a rectifier diode which has ~0.7V or higher voltage drop, the voltage loss across the FET will be much smaller. Calculate V(drop)=IR where I is the current draw of the circuit and R is the Rds(on) resistance of the FET.

The On– Chip Schmitt Trigger circuit allows a simple RC filter at the input to remove possible line volt-age transients. An internal pull– up resistor is provided. CR Input: (Note 1) When AC power–down occurs, the time counter enters the “hold” mode and the on– chip clock oscilla-tor starts operating immediately.
