IRF630 MOSFET Working with Simulation
A MOSFET can be turned ON by supplying proper gate voltage between the gate and source terminal. If the gate voltage is not applied properly, the MOSFET will remain turn OFF condition. For example, we take IRF630 as MOSFET and use this MOSFET as a switching device to turn ON and OFF a LED. The simulation is done in proteus.
Condition-1: When the applied gate voltage is more than 4 V, the LED will turn ON. Here, we apply 5 V between gate and source.
Condition-2: When the applied gate voltage is less than 4 V, the LED remains in OFF condition. In this example, the applied gate voltage is 3V, and the LED seems in OFF condition in the figure below.
