This lecture from Colin O'Flynn's PCB design series at Dalhousie University focuses on MOSFET selection for an electromagnetic driver project. Learn about critical MOSFET considerations including RDSon values, Vgs thresholds, and how to use Digikey to find appropriate components. Explore typical Vgs values, common 3-pin packages, and which datasheet specifications matter most when selecting MOSFETs for your design. This video is part 5 of a comprehensive PCB design series, with slides available on GitHub, and continues in part 6 with more MOSFET implementation details in KiCAD.
