How to Replace a Transistor (BJT) with a MOSFET
Crys Crystii
I read that article and he *completely* ignores the gate drive needed to properly switch a power MOSFET on and off. MOSFETs are mosly used for switching high currents, and the time it takes to switch one from nonconducting to conducting *must* be minimized. If it isn’t, the MOSFET will overheat and be damaged. The author makes *no* mention of this, and says just connect the MOSFET into the circuit, expecting it to work. That’s a disaster that’s waiting to happen.
