Cree introduced the first SiC MOSFET in January 2011. This CMF20120D transistor was rated at 1200V, had 80 mΩ on-resistance, and was housed in TO-247 package. Although its cost was higher than the Si IGBT it was supposed to replace, the SiC MOSFETs have faster switching, better efficiency and better thermal performance. 20pcs IRF3205 IR MOSFET N-CHANNEL 55V/110A TO-220 HEXFET Power Transistor IRF 5 out of 5 stars (2) 2 product ratings - 20pcs IRF3205 IR MOSFET N-CHANNEL 55V/110A TO.

OPTO-MOSFET Driver: Hi. My absolutely first enclosure to MOSFET’s. After studying ”lot’s” of them in INSTR. & Arduino & elsewere of them users having problems with controlling them mosfets with logics.Problems there seems to be: 1. The MOSFET is also capable of handling higher power than the JFET. The MOSFET was the first truly compact transistor that could be miniaturised and mass-produced for a wide range of uses. The MOSFET thus became the most common type of transistor in computers, electronics, and communications technology (such as smartphones).
Grove – MOSFET enables you to control higher voltage project, say 15V DC, with low voltage, say 5V, on microcontroller. MOSFET is also a kind of switch, but its switching frequency can reach up to 5MHz, much faster than normal mechanical relay. There are two screw terminals on the board. One for outer power source and the other for device you want to control. Grove – MOSFET will pass the power from one end to another when closed. But if outer power source is absent, your device can still draw power from microcontroller via the Grove interface.

Caution
The platforms mentioned above as supported is/are an indication of the module's software or theoritical compatibility. We only provide software library or code examples for Arduino platform in most cases. It is not possible to provide software library / demo code for all possible MCU platforms. Hence, users have to write their own software library.

Getting Started¶
Note
If this is the first time you work with Arduino, we firmly recommend you to see Getting Started with Arduino before the start.
Play With Arduino¶
Demonstration¶
Here we demonstrate how to use Grove - MOSFET to control a motor. We provide power for it with external power source, but if your controlled device needs current smaller than 300mA, Seeeduino can totally support it and no extra power source needed.、
Hardware¶
- Step 1. Prepare the below stuffs:
Seeeduino V4.2 | Base Shield | Grove - MOSFET |
---|---|---|
Get One Now | Get One Now | Get One Now |
- Step 2. Connect Grove - MOSFET to port D6 of Grove-Base Shield.
- Step 3. Plug Grove - Base Shield into Seeeduino.
- Step 4. Connect Seeeduino to PC via a USB cable.
Note
If we don't have Grove Base Shield, We also can directly connect Grove_MOSFET to Seeeduino as below.
Seeeduino | Grove_MOSFET |
---|---|
5V | Red |
GND | Black |
Not Conencted | White |
D6 | Yellow |
Vin: Accepts 5V ~ 15V power of which current is less than 2A.
Vout: Attach actuators here.
Software¶
- Step 1. Copy the code into Arduino IDE and upload. If you do not know how to upload the code, please check how to upload code.
- Step 2. Observe the state of the motor
