IRF840 is a high-performance N-channel MOSFET transistor often used in electronic circuit design, widely used in switching power supply circuit, inverter circuit design. Its specific parameters are as follows: the maximum voltage value is 500V, which can meet the requirements of most circuits for voltage; The maximum acceptable current of 8A(with the increase of temperature this value will be reduced to 5.1A) is enough to meet the requirements of most circuits; Continuous high-power work will cause the transistor to heat up and reduce the power of the transistor, so we need to pay special attention to the solution of the heat dissipation problem (such as external heat sink or silicone grease); The on-resistance (Rds(on) of the IRF840 is only 0.7 ohms (rated to a maximum of 0.85 ohms), and the lower on-resistance can effectively reduce additional power losses and improve the efficiency of the circuit. The threshold voltage of IRF840 is 2V~4V, we can easily drive this transistor; And the switching time is only about 400ns, which can be used for high-frequency switching circuits. The package is in the form of TO-220, which has the advantage of easy heat dissipation and easy installation, and the disadvantage is that it takes up relatively large space.

IRF840 Circuit Diagram

Irf840 — это полевая МОП-лампа N-канального типа с корпусом TO-220. Основными характеристиками являются низкий заряд затвора, низкая емкость обратной связи и очень быстрое переключение, поэтому в большинстве случаев она используется в качестве коммутационной трубки, например, в высокоэффективных DC-DC-преобразователях (где различные напряжения постоянного тока могут выводиться путем переключения на разных частотах).
irf840 maximum withstand voltage of 500V, in the series belongs to the highest withstand voltage value of a; large leakage current of 1mA; on-resistance of 0.85Ω (the smaller the on-resistance, indicating that the lower the static power consumption), the on-resistance is the largest in this series, because the irf840 positioning is to be a large withstand voltage and power, so the internal structure of a thicker, on-resistance will be large; Operating temperature range: -55 ℃ ~ +150 ℃; alternative products are: FTK480, KF12N50, IRF740, BSS138, etc. (choose a replacement material to consider the alternative components). Range: -55℃~+150℃; Alternative products are: FTK480, KF12N50, IRF740, BSS138, etc. (When choosing the alternative material, we should consider the voltage withstand value of the alternative components and the maximum current that supports the flow through).

How to drive a mos tube:

irf840 driver circuit diagram

Driving the irf840 requires a large enough transient current, and in addition to direct drive, the more common drive method is push-pull output (totem pole drive). R1 in the figure is the simulated load (can be led, fan, motor and other devices). Since the general microcontroller may not be able to output the current to meet the MOS drive, so we use a PNP and NPN emitter connected (common emitter amplifier circuit), the purpose is to amplify the MOS tube gate drive current.
