 		 #87305 - More Qs on P-MOSFETs
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Hi Russel,

And thanks for your detailed description. The on and off delay of IRF series is some nano-seconds ... seems to be okay with me.

I suggest you read up on transistors and mosfets to give yourself the whole picture.
- Any usefull and compact links in mind?

I suggest you get yourself an engineering textbook that covers semiconductors to give you some background in the different devices and their considerations when designing.
- Any usefull and compact links/pdfs in mind? I'm getting more and more "pdfoholic".

8A minimum!
- IS is 12A okay, but ISM is 40A! Isn't it an overkill? I mean I may be able to use supposed-to-be cheaper IRF9630 for instance with IS=6.5 and ISM=26 or maybe even IRF9620 with IS=2 and ISM=14, Well, of course RDS,ON for 9630 and 9620 is .8 and 1.5 Ohm which makes'em useless according to what Jan said. Fortunately all these three P-MOSFETs are found here, I hope 9530 is not very expensive.

- The ON state in my system is some 300us with the duty cycle of 1/32, i.e. each column is ON for 300us in every 10ms. In the datasheet of IRF9620 we have:
Pulsed Drain Current = 14
How can we determine how long this "Pulsed" is? I mean what size pulses do they call "Pulsed"? Then if the size is << 300us n every 10ms I can conclude that it's necessary to use bigger P-MOSFETs like 9530, but if "Pulsed" >= 300us in every 10ms I'd better use cheaper IRF9620s.

Best.
