In this video we will be having a closer look on how to drive MOSFETs. That means I will show you different examples on how to turn on/off a MOSFET with a microcontroller. We will investigate why and how much gate current is flowing and how the gate capacitance pretty much forces us to use a MOSFET driver at some point. Along the way you will also learn about what bootstrapping is and when to use it and you will hear a tiny bit about a gate-drive transformer. Let's get started!

Dear sir i just subscribe to ur channel after this videos will u plz teach us the how to design circuit how to choose what calculation formulae require... to trace the whole circuit .
Thank you for your amazing video as always. I had a short-circuit in my brain here 4:48, though. What were you doing? I really have no clue what's happening there.
Ok sorry im not very talentet in Curcuit stuff but...
Is the Condensator not pulling the Drain under the Gate Voltage in stead of adding up the Supply and the Condensator?
I realy tryed to Rap my head around it. But i cant see how it schould pull the Voltage over its supply. Bevause 2x 12 Volte parallel are still 12V just in Series they get 24V.
So i think the Condensator is "Chargin Negativ" and "Pulling Charge" away from the drain to make the Voltage differenz. Caus it cant charge over its supply.
Good video, was using it to refresh my knowledge, one point, thermal runaway can be eliminated using a source resistor, so as 'I.s' increase, the voltage across the resistor increases reducing Vgs - just a form of negative feedback, can also be used on bipolars.
PS: another way, is to generate a seperate power rail above the drain voltage-for those thinking of doing this.
If you made a full blown course of how to get started in constructing technology I’d pay for it. I love these videos would love to learn the basics so I could do projects like this.
What can I say except give him an award.
Thanks mate :-)

The slowly blackening tip of the yellow highlighter gives me flashbacks to college.
Yeah dude def needs a laser printer
It bothers me that you always scrub the highlighter until it smears. Sorry, I couldn't hold it back any longer.
..... I CAN'T EITHER! Finally somebody said it. That and underlining things until that pen is definitely bleeding through the page..
I thought it is only me. it's soooo annoying to see that and writing on the same letter twice.
my daughter does the same thing, she is 3y old.
Yea like wait the to dry first before highlighting them!! omg!
@@gene_Code sorry but your sentence is.....let's say, out of order. Kinda the same annoyance.....lol.
Another reason to use MOSFET driver: cross-conduction prevention that could prevent your Metal Oxide Silicon Field Effect Transistor into becoming Magically Obliterated, Smoke n' Fire Emitting Transistor in a bridge configuration.
b-bridge? As in...
FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER?
Yep. True
Exactly! H-bridge drivers have dead time for that...
@@greatscottlab Hi mate... When is it coming the part 2? 👍
Most H-Bridge already have driver and cross-detection or so-called dead-time,
if you need the power by using 4 (or 6 for brushless) stand-alone MOSFET's, you should not just use mcu-gpio to drive them that is for sure.
I am so glad so many people like yourself are out there, getting on youtube, and expanding their futures, while teaching. I'm an old fart, I've been working in this field more than fifty years, but you've taught me more than a thing or two, "surface mount, liquid solder, oven soldering", what's this world coming to? Very nice demonstration, thank you.
If you had 100 videos about driving MOSFET gates, I would probably binge what all of them today. This is great, thank you.

Dude you just resumed my B.S. Electrical Engineerging thesis on like 13 minutes.
WTF
Just awesome.
Bullshit electrical engineering? I'm also good at it.
what was your thesis about?
@@iNezerroth Basically feels like it
@@alexandersolon6548 I assembled a three phase inverter to test different digital control schemes, and evaluate how it affects the output harmonics.
So this video summarize the all chapter where i explanied the mosfet's response and why you need the driver
@@anl2468 can i have a link to the paper? i would like to read it.

"But, of cousre, you don't know everything yet"
It's me, in every aspect of my life. Especially when I think I know what I'm doing.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Really Great scott!!
Great to hear!
@@greatscottlab Hi mate... When is it coming the part 2? 👍
Wonderful Video! I didn't know about mosfet drivers before this video but now I know what to do with them, Thanks!
Glad to help!
That moment when you find out what to do with mosfet...i remember it very well
That was a moment i started to prepare myself for real electronic jobs, old yugoslavian repair equipment, mostly chinese parts and basic knowlege.
Today i still work with those tools and equipment but i smoke weed
While Iam watching your video, a music video came where two teenage boy and girl singing rum pum pum song please give the name of artist or link if you can or any one.
@@greatscottlab make a fm transmitter
we have a youtube channel that deals with Arduino,ATmega328P,Java,Serial programming ,robotics. So if you like these stuff do Subscribe. Sorry for annoying
Genuinely the best explanation of MOSFETs and how to drive them I've ever seen. The only thing missing, which can trip people up, is depletion vs enhancement mode for both P and N channel
You know what, there is something therapeutic and calming about the way you speak. I've been subscribed for years and just had a moment.
I have an exam on mosfets in two days. You have no idea how much this helped me
I started viewing your video nearly 4 years ago when I didnt knew anything about electronics and now I know things about electronics still I am enjoying how you explain
BYE THE WAY I AM ALSO MAKING ARDUINO PROJECTS PLEASE TAKE A LOOK :)
Amazing work GreatScott!, this is yet another example of a series of your invaluable electronics learning resources.
Great timing on this subject. I was planning to look into the usage of gate drivers tomorrow.

Huge thanks for including your workings in the videos ... so often folk try to cover such topics and just hand-wave the selection of component values. Big takeaway... if in doubt, add more MOSFETs!
I love the detail you provide - I do not understand on the first viewing, but that is the strength of online, view it more than once
Happy new years, greatscott. Thanks for bringing us all along! I appreciate you!
Enjoy the detail you put into your videos...even if I don't always understand what is going on. Thank you!
I am blown away of how professional this is...
Very well done videos. You have a natural talent for teaching. You lay out the concepts in a logical way which makes them easy to understand. I have a formal education in electronics, but informal instruction like this through TH-cam is really amazing for the hobbyist without a formal education. You have earned a new subscriber.
I've used plenty of MOSFETs in a variety of circuits in the past, but even professionals seldom just know how to do these things from memory. Unless you build the same circuits all the time it is often helpful to study some references before designing anything. I think videos like this are even useful for professional EEs who want to brush up on the concepts before diving into a design.
I just bought a broken plasma cutter. It works just like a big off-line SMPS by rectifying the 240 VAC in to 350 VDC, then switching the 350 VDC with a variable current limit and rectifying the resulting AC to develop the 10-60A needed for cutting up to 3/4" (19 mm) steel like the proverbial hot knife through butter. On the switching board are 16 FETs arranged in four groups of four in an H-bridge. I can see two rather large torodial gate drive transformers on the board. I am looking forward to the next video to make sure the technical details of using gate drive transformers are fresh in my mind.
The world's best teacher
For some of those applications, you can use a MOSFET driver directly to drive the LED Load. The ones for example in my inverter are rated for 9 Amps and actively drive high and low, which is useful if you want to encode data on a fiber or laser diode.
I’d love to see you discuss the consequences of using a 3.3v PWM output as provided by an ESP controller. Currently I have some designs where I’m providing a 15vdc gate driver voltage to facilitate good MOSFET switching, but that’s now a second power supply on the pcb (in addition to the 5vdc one to drive the ESP). The MOSFETs are driving 24vdc LEDs.
I wish I could do more of practical, you really set good example with calculation it also helping me with theory and calculation
Wieviel Arbeit in dem Video steckt. Krass. Mega, dass du das machst! Bin von Anfang an dabei ;)
This video helped me solve a problem on a product design that came from an outsourced electronics engineer.
I never understand your vdos (except a few), but I appreciate your knowledge!! Hats off!!
Great video!! Love the new music. I appreciate the consistency and quality of your videos too. Keep em coming!!!
THANK YOU!!! I've been wondering this for years but always forgot to look into it!
Very Nice and informative video greatscott! These are an absolute gem for engineering students! And they help tremendously in making projects. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
I have no idea what you're talking about, but I do like your videos. Job well done...
Thank you for the video scott. I was researching bootstrapping capacitors/mosfet gate driver ICs a while back
this is very informative Mr. Scott. Really appreciate you taking the time to explain the various pros and cons.
Glad it was helpful!
@@greatscottlab which high side low side mosfet driver would you recommend for a DIY inverter circuit?
Really like your in-depth videos on subjects like this one. Saves me lots of time wondering why the magic smoke escaped from my MOSFETs ;-). Looking forward to part 2!
My HVAC electrical teacher's favorite line; "once the smoke comes out, you can't put the smoke back in"
(usually referring to transformers, as several dudes hooked them up backwards 😂)
Thanks so much for your videos. I am a fan. Working my way towards PWM treadmill motor driver and this might help. Waiting for Part 2!
Your ability to deMystify some aspects of electronic engineering is of great credit to you, You have helped me so very much as a "Mature" student (I am 62 and still learning.) Many thanks and keep up the good work !!
Glad to help
Great video! There were a few things I was missing apparently when I drive MOSFETS. Thanks for the information!
Hey you got Würth as a sponsor, that is a good call from them! I certainly will check their products out!
I couldn't understand half of it ... but got the gist. Can't wait for Part II to hit that Like again!
Great, can't wait for part 2 Scott. Thank you.
So glad I came back and watched this again. Was defo worth the 2nd viewing.
Electroboom is uploading frequently and great Scott too
Germany is in hard lockdown again, so not much to do besides making videos, I guess
I try ;-) One more episode next week and then I will take a longer break.

u are right brp
@@greatscottlab please cover all MOSFET topic. And Thank you for your efforts.
You deliver the right video at right time......
Great video. I have been using MOSFET drivers in my designs for quite some time now, without really knowing (or caring, tbh) about their inner working.
Thanks to you, I can now make better component selections and designs. :)
help me to control a DC motor please, I am using IRF3205, and the 12V geared DC motor is not turning off...
Very clear content. Informative for the beginners. Keep going.
A short summary at the end of such highly information dense video would be great!
Keep up the awesome work!

i've been always confused with the term bootstrapping, now you explained it clearly with the floating ground. great video as always sir!
Glad it helped!
This is the best video you've made for months! I'm very excited about part 2.
I've built various circuits based on MOSFETs but all the time Optocoupler based circuits works best for me and also would love to share that it's the only cheap, hassle-free and efficient way to drive the MOSFETs 😄
great explanation video
best I've seen, and you've surveyed all the major issues one is confronted with using MOSFET's
I enjoy your videos and especially your knowledge and presentation. Thank you
Absolutely amazing tutorial !
Thanks for sharing good electronic knowledge with us.. GreatScott👍👍
Thank you, I was just about to start working on a Tesla coil project and now I know why some designs use mosfet drives and some don’t.
Genau dieses Video hat uns am Samstag in unserer Miltenbecher-AG gefehlt😅 da wussten wir nicht, wie wir unseren Motor steuern sollen...👌
Long time waited, great explanation thank you for doing such a good job.
Great explanation ! Short and sufficient.
Great breakdown of one of the world's most popular devices and circuitry. This is used in practically every switch mode power supply out there, including laptop power supplies and desktop PC power supplies, just to name a few. Power electronics including switch mode power circuits will become even more popular with electrification of vehicles. Let's all get ready for dangerous high voltage digital circuits! Yes!
Gosh, I've blown up a lot of components learning about FETs. There's a lot to get your head around. It gets even more exciting when you have inductive loads. Gate drivers and bridges definitely are very useful.
