MOSFETs and How to Use Them | AddOhms #11

When looking at a datasheet, do NOT use the value of Vgs in the section "Absolute Max." This section is for conditions that will damage the MOSFET. More information here: discuss.addohms.com/t/what-does-absolute-max-mean/…

finally... someone explained how to select the mosfet in practice... in university they are all about calculating amplification, working of a mosfet in molecular level, etc. but they won't tell simple things like these, which are super important when using and selecting the transistor in practice. Thank you, sir!

Excellent! Finally someone covered the stuff one actually needs to know for their projects. I'm trying to buy a MOSFET, not design one.

Hi James. This Channel is one of the BEST anyone can find in YouTube. I really like your videos. My reasons: 1) Your diction is great, extremely clear, well articulated. 2) You have music ONLY in a few spots, which I consider that is perfect. I hate those tutorials when it’s almost impossible hear what the person is saying. 3) You visual and graphics material are of the super highest quality. 4) Once in a while a joke is perfect, as an “ice breaker”. 5) You have a great respect for your audience. A+++ 👍 I subscribed to your Channel & Turned On the notifications. Congratulations!

This is, BY FAR, the most comprehensive and accurate tutorial for MOSFETs on YouTube.

My uncle is an Electrical Engineer. I have asked him many times about mosfets as I have been watching him working on circuits since my childhood. But every time his lectures just flew over my head. Then I searched youtube and got my answer.

I love it how you broke down the complex systems into easy to understand simplicity. That, and the random humor helps keep things interesting.

This is my favorite AddOhms video. The viewer KNOWS they need a MOSFET and you show them how to use the data sheet to select one. The review is a nice touch too.

My professor talked about this but with you assistance this now makes clear sense. I really do like your approach to teaching this concept. Very easy to understand and the anecdote at the beginning was a good way to diffuse any tension when learning new concepts.

this is a great video. really enjoyed how you not only explained the functionality of MOSFETs but how to actually use them in a real-world application. thats something i wasn't taught when i was in school (not sure why though).

I've been trying to increase my limited Electrical knowledge, and your videos are some of the most informative and easily understood. The fact that you back them up with fact/cheat sheets on your website is really a nice touch. Look forward to some more videos from you in the future, they've done me a lot of good. Thanks

In just a couple minutes, you have explained clearly the selection and the application of MosFET. Thank you!

I have years watching electronic videos on youtube, and i can tell maybe 5 are the channels that are actually worth to watch, this is one of them..great job mate

Great Video - after 40 years as an EE I now understand MOSFETs a whole lot better.

Thank you for making these videos because you don't just throw equations at us but you explain how fets mechanically works and then use the V,R I's in equations but they're within the context of your tutorials.

I wasted about 1h in googling some informations abour BJTs and/or MOSFETs. And now after more than the half of the time, I got what I need. Thanks man! :-)

30 seconds in and I've seen an engineer with an efficient hairstyle, information on transistors and MOSFETs and seen an intro.. subbed!

When you started talking about mosses I just rolled with it. really shows how easily zoned out I can be :P

Thx, finally a beginner oriented and well explained tutorial.

Now THIS is how an instructional video SHOULD be! Awesome work, have subscribed. You taught me more in a couple of minutes than all the so called forum experts and their arguing and sniping at each other! Just THANK YOU!!!
