Description

IRF540 MOSFET



IRF540 is an N-Channel powered MOSFET used for very fast switching operations as well as for amplification processes. It operates in enhancement mode. Its input impedance is quite high as compared to the general transistor so, it’s a lot sensitive in comparison to them. It has a lot of applications in daily life for example, switching regulators, relay drivers, switching converters, motor drivers, high speed power switching drivers etc. 1. IRF540 Pinout IRF 540 has three pins in total named as:

1. Drain

2. Gate

3. Source



So, when we apply signal at the Gate of IRF540, then its Drain and Source got connected.



All of the IRF540 pins along with their names and symbol are given in the table shown below.

6. IRF540 Working Principle This section will elaborate about the basic working principle on which IRF540 works. IRF540 works on a pretty simple principle. It has three kinds of terminals e.g. Drain, Gate and Source. When we apply any of the pulse at its Gate terminal, its Gate and Drain gets short i.e. they make a common connection with each other. When the Gate and the Drain gets short, only then we will be able to obtain the desired results otherwise it will produce unnecessary or unwanted results. 
