How To Use FQP30N60L
The FQP30N60L is an N-channel power MOSFET that features high breakdown voltage, large current carrying capability, and low on-resistance. It is a logic level MOSFET, meaning that it can turn on fully even with a low gate voltage of 5V.
The most common applications of N-channel power MOSFETs are as low-side switches, as shown in the figure above. The source is connected to the ground through an optional shunt resistor to measure current. The gate has a pull-down resistor to prevent the MOSFET from turning on accidentally if the input is left floating. A series gate resistor is added to prevent current spikes from damaging the gate. To protect against voltage spikes when switching inductive loads, a flyback diode is added antiparallel to the load.
Applications
- Automotive electronics
- DC-DC converters
- High-efficiency power switching
- Battery-operated products
