Multimeters are very good tools to find out problems in electronics circuits and testing electronics components. Resistor measurement is found in practically all multimeters, capacitance measurement range is becoming more and more common and some high-end models can also measure inductance. Many multimeters have also possiblity to test bipolar transistors (Hfe measurement range), but I don’t remeber that I would have seen any multimeter that has measuring range for FET testing. Properly testing all properties of a MOSFET requires a lot of expensive test gear. What would be useful is a way to easily have a working or not working result with some simple test that can be made with a normal multimeter and maybe few other components.
MOSFET TESTING page published by Integrated Publishing gives you idea how to test P-channel FET, N-channel FET and MOSFET with a multimeter. Testing a MOSFET web page gives you a simple testing procedure is for use with a digital multimeter. For the provedure to work you need a digital multimeter in the diode test-range with a minimum of 3.3 volt over d.u.t. (diode-under-test). If your multi-meter is less than that it will not do the test. 4QD Tec MOSFET testing page starts by giving a pretty similar test procedure, but continues with an improved test setup that need few extra components.
Please note that MOSFETs are very sensitive to electrostatic charges and can be easily damaged by them. A vacuum plunger (solder sucker) must not be used because of the high electrostatic charges it can generate. Solder removal by wicking or using professional ESD safe tools is recommended. It is also good practice to wrap MOSFETs in metal foil when they are out of a circuit.
Your post MOSFET testing « Tomi Engdahl’s ePanorama blog was very interesting when I found it over google on Tuesday by my search for multimeter. I have your blog now in my bookmarks and I visit your blog again, soon. Take care.
Hi, nice look and Nice song.. How many point for This FFT? 16 point? the output is it linear or log scale? there only have 14level for each bar?
I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the nice work Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
can i see more of this please
This is an epic post, I’ll definitely be adding this site to my bookmarks
I had been just surfing the world-wide-web and I arrived throughout this page. I actually liked the knowledge, preserve up the beneficial perform.
This matter was incredibly beneficial and perfectly created. I plan to try and do some far more investigation on this. With thanks for discussing this timely data. We have to have far more this way.
:O So mush Details :O … That is he MOst Amazing Site DUDe…
great post my friend, very nice. congrats! if you have some time, take a look on my page, is linked to my name

Can you provide more information on this? take care
Can you provide more information on this? cheers
There are two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you’ve made a measurement. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you’ve made a discovery.
Very informative article… Looking forward for more articles on your blog

I really liked your blog! It helped me alot…
looking forward to future posts, added to Rss feed
Good article…..
This awesome article needs a trackback…..
Hi.thanks for this good information.Im so pleased because its extremely helpful for my thesis research.I hope you will keep updating your content constantly as you’ve 1 dedicated reader here
I’m aiming to spike my journalistic career and considered that a blog could be advisable. But Also i know that there are ways to set up a paypal account coupled to the blog for payment you just read it or donate. I assume I used to be inspired from the movie Julia and Julie and I might like to do it on my own. Any ideas on how to get going?.
Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for newbie blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.
I conceive this internet site has very fantastic written written content content.
I was just searching for this information for some time. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your web site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this type of informative sites in top of the list. Usually the top web sites are full of garbage.
