I am using a gate driver as an interface between a power FET and a microcontroller. The power FET controls a coil that operates at 48V. The gate driver is powered by 12 V with input voltages that are TTL compatible. Any ideas why the gate drivers could be getting hot and exploding? They are...
I am building a controller for a retarder. A power MOSFET is being used to control whether the retarder is on or off. I need to connect a large gauge wire, I've been using 10 gauge, to the MOSFET which is in a TO-220 package. I've contacted digikey, newark, and mouser about connectors which...
