Temperature Sensitive MOSFET - Recently I was asked by a company to discover why one of their products failed to operate properly in cold temperatures.  Two n-channel MOSFETs and a few resistors are wired to form a flip/flop latch circuit.  Each time the pushbutton switch is pressed, the circuit changes state and remains in that state until another activation of the switch.   . . .

Relay Toggle using a MOSFET  & Push Button - This circuit is similar to the one above, but uses a N channel mosfet such as IRF530, 540, 640, etc.  in place of the NPN transistor.  Smaller mosfets could be used, but I don't know the part numbers.  I tested the circuit with a IRF640, IRFZ44, IRFZ34 and REP50N06.   The circuit has the same three advantages, it requires only a few parts, always comes up with the relay deactivated, and doesn't need any switch debouncing. __ Designed by Bill Bowden

Reverse Polarity Protector - A series diode is often used as a means of protecting equipment from accidental power supply reversal, particularly in battery-powered equipment.  Due to forward voltage losses, this is sometimes impractical.  One solution is to use an enhancement mode P-channel power Mosfet  (Q1) in series with the positive supply rail.  A device with low drain-source “on”

Two Watt Amplifier - A 2 Watt audio amplifier made from discrete components.  This was one of the earliest circuits that I ever designed and built, in Spring 1982.  At that time I had only an analogue meter and a calculator to work with.  Although not perfect, this amplifier does have a wide frequency response, low harmonic distortion about 3%,  __ Designed by Andy Collison
