MOSFET Over-Temperature Shutdown Circuits – Understanding and Solving the Issue
The Problem: When working with MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors), heat is a common issue that can cause the device to shut down if it gets too hot. This is a protective feature called over-temperature shutdown. If the MOSFET gets too hot, it can fail, damaging your circuit and components. The main reason for overheating …
