A 400W (1kW Peak) 100A Electronic Load Using Linear MOSFETs

Kerry Wong built a 400W/100A electronic load using linear MOSFETs. He writes: I bought a couple of IXYS linear MOSFETs (IXTK90N25L2) a while ago to test their capabilities when used as electronic load, and the result was quite impressive. So I decided to build another electronic...

App note: Solid-State Relays

Solid-state relays introduction from Vishay, (PDF) MOSFET SSRs feature an optocoupler construction, but have a pair of MOSFETs on the output instead of a phototransistor. A pair of source-coupled MOSFETs emulate an electromechanical relay by providing bidirectional switch capability...
