G'Day All,
I'm trying to use a P type mosfet (IRF 9540) as a PWM switch to charge a
battery.
I cant get it to turn on completely, as a test I have connected the +
supply to the source and the drain to the + of the battery and the neg
of the battery to the neg of the supply. If I take the gate to the neg
it does not turn on completely, there is a volt drop of several volts
across it at 2 amps. This happens with the 2 devices I've tried. They
turn off OK when the gate is held high.
What am I missing here ???
Cheers ....... Rheilly

Ya right of course, 12v battery and a regulated variable supply that I
crank up to set the current flow. The real use will be with solar panels.

** You have got a " stopper " resistor is series with the gate - right ?
Say 2.2 kohms - to stop HF oscillation.

Thanks Phil,
I didn't but putting one in has not changed things.
One other thing is that these are a batch from Hong Kong, I'm wondering
if perhaps they are bodgy ??

Rds(on) is about 5 times higher than the spec of 0.2 ohms.

Yup, beats me. I'll wander down town and get a known brand and see how
that goes.
Thanks for the help.

I've just come back with a brand type one and all is well.
