Sometimes it is cheaper in small quantities to have someone make your parts vs building your machines to do the job. Plasma cutters do not make clean enough cuts as needed for control panels. Anyway...
mark_s Today, 16:40no gate driver needed for occasional intermittent switch... the rise and fall times are where there is power dissipated in the mosfet...... do a calculation of the power dissipated in that 30 micro...
amgen Today, 15:091 columb = 1 amp for 1 second
To apply 6nC of charge in 5.5 nanoseconds takes
6e-9/5.5e-9 = 1.09 amps
It needs a gate driver to get that speed, a pic with 20mA of drive can provide a 6nC...
.
usually, all the gate drive circuits mostly have to do with the frequency the mosfet is engineered to operate. That is where high frequencies matter and the rise and fall times of the mosfet...
One of the challenges I had given myself was to simulate an electric breaker in MSFS, just like the ones in a Cessna 152.

So far, the least expensive and "good enough" technique was...
Excellent!
Yeah, that's why I considered the opto-couplers at first; to isolate the solenoid from the 5V circuit, but I'll be using separate sources:
- 5V from TPS56637 (for PICs, LEDs, and all...
Using datasheet:

My work so far:
I added tD(ON) and tr to get total t
Google AI says:
Ig = Qg / t
.. yes the 'AO3400A' are good for what you want, and the very low '0n resistance' means most all the voltage will be on the coil, which is what you want. The only thing about the SSR's is that the...
amgen Yesterday, 23:40Very interesting, I wasn't aware of these puppies. I have 5V 100mA mechanical relays similar to these:

Re: New project - MSFS C++ USB interface
That's a cool service. 😎
Demon Today, 19:25Gonna save that one.
