[TriEmbed] Power FETs Vol 25, Issue 27

[Grawburg]

Shane,

I already have a 3.3 ohm resistor between the gate and IO pin. The larger 33K stopped it from working. Maybe I need to test this again.
I must see if I have a 100K or more for the G-S connection.


Thanks,
Brian

Brian,

1) I expect the length of wire to the gate would NOT be a limiting factor in your application. It might slow down the switching a little but it sounds like it would not be an issue. I would use a resistor (100 ohm or so) between the I/O pin and gate and add a large pull down resistor, 100k-1M ohm, between the gate and source to ensure capacitive coupling cannot start turning on the FET.
