IGBT vs MOSFET: How to Choose the Right Power Switch
This article compares IGBTs and MOSFETs for power electronics applications It covers efficiency trade-offs, conduction and switching losses, voltage/current guidelines, structural differences (such as body diode and tail current), and real-world use-cases like motor drives and inverters Diagrams, formulas, and figures aid understanding for both engineers and enthusiasts.
Interfacing PIC16F877A with MOSFETS (Part 2 of 3)
Most microcontrollers have a limited current sink or current source on the pins, the PIC16F877A is no exception. However, for certain projects you may want to use larger currents then just 25mA, which is the max current source for this microcontroller. For those kind of projects you'll have to resort ...
