    In this episode of Electronic Basics I will show you how to use N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs as switches in order to turn on and off your electronic load with a control signal. This way you can, for example, use your Arduino to control loads that require more current than the output of the Arduino can handle.

    I just don't understand why you don't have at least a million subscribers. These are extremely high quality videos, short and to the point, with tons of information. Love your videos man

    • @greatscottlab

      Thanks mate, I guess electronics is simply not mainstream.

    • @joelhowell5402
      @joelhowell5402 Před 8 lety +18

      It should be, screw gaming channels, I mean I actually get to learn something interesting from your videos. They really are inspiring me to go into computer/electrical engineering.

    • @joelhowell5402
      @joelhowell5402 Před 8 lety +3

      +David Serrano I understand most of what says and goes over in his videos. What other channels produce short, quick , quality clips of information.

    • @dargmuesli
      @dargmuesli Před 8 lety +5

      Cuz there are not many people like me for example, who don't get a single word of what he says but still watch the video :D

    • @joelhowell5402
      @joelhowell5402 Před 8 lety +6

      +Dargmuesli His videos are great to watch, especially to see what he makes. it doesn't matter if you don't understand completely, as long as you take an interest in what he's doing.

    @To-mos Před 2 lety +26

    Thank you for demonstrating at 2:42 how sensitive MOSFETS with floating pins are, I always hear about using a pull-down resistor to fix them but never saw it inaction.

  • @luizz1997
    @luizz1997 Před 7 lety +69

    Took a while, but I managed to make a mosfet driver... And now I understand why I burned a lot of mosfet in this past... Damn internal capacitance

      @jirkasmejkal1698 Před 6 lety +48

      Thats normal, its just because you starting to realize how much there is to know, therefore how litle you know : )

    • @Cookieglue
      @Cookieglue Před 6 lety +7

      Don't we all...
      If you want transistor tutorial stuff, I would watch a channel called Ben Eater. Yet he only explains transistors, logic gates, and complex logic circuits(his 8 bit PC), not other components.

    Thank you so much for this video! You boiled everything down so eloquently, and the modest, but precise visual aids drove everything home. This is gold for anyone learning MOSFET switching!

  • @dheujsnrhfydhehehshshhdggsd

    I had difficulty following this. I'll try rewatching and following along at home and see if that helps. thanks for your videos, even when I am confused, I enjoy learning there is more to things than a couple of steps.

    @3:48, P-Channel MOSFET, you say voltage on the gate (VGS) shuts off the MOSFET, but the scope shows the opposite behavior.

  • @gregorycain8566
    @gregorycain8566 Před 8 lety +1

    I really enjoy your videos.
    I learned electronic principles years ago, but much of what I learned has regressed to where I only remember how isolated components work, but not necessarily how they affect circuits when combined with other components. I'd really enjoy hearing you walk through the theory of operation for a simple circuit explaining how the current flows and is affected by each segment through the circuit. Just in case you are ever looking for a topic your audience would enjoy... I'd vote for this :-)
    Keep up the great work!
