    Display backlight using PIC PWM and MOSFET

    @Audioguru Not sure why you are saying that. If you read my first post, I am using 2N7002P,215. Looking at the datasheet, it has Gate-Source threshold 1.75 (2.4V Max) Am I missing something? https://assets.nexperia.com/documents/data-sheet/2N7002P.pdf

    Display backlight using PIC PWM and MOSFET

    Thank you everyone for replies. From what I see, there is a very little brightness difference between 25mA and 30mA. I will add 7 Ohm resistor plus Rds That should have about 0.3V drop and limit the current. I also changed PWM to ~1 KHz and I don't see any difference - thank you for the tip.

    Display backlight using PIC PWM and MOSFET

    Just a sanity check: If I have an LED that is listed 3.3V x 30mA, can I safely connect it directly (no resistor or MOSFET) to a 3.3V power supply and expect 30mA current draw? Thanks

    Display backlight using PIC PWM and MOSFET

    Thank you for your patience with me. Here is what I got: - 3.3V 30mA backlight, - Zero Ohm drain resistor - PWM is set to 0.80 duty cycle, 66 KHz Frequency Measuring current 29.95 mA (calibrated DMM) From this point, I can gradually reduce PW and current proportionally going down. Few...

    Display backlight using PIC PWM and MOSFET

    I am sorry, I did not provide enough information. Unfortunately I don't know if it can tolerate 3.45V on the backlight side. Display is off-brand TFT177F254FPC based on ST7735S driver It's similar to this: https://www.adafruit.com/product/618 I have few variations from different vendors and...

    Display backlight using PIC PWM and MOSFET

    Hi everybody, need little help. I have a small 1.77" TFT LCD that uses 3.2V / 20mA backlight that I want to have a variable brightness. Circuit controlled by PIC18F26K40 and n-channel MOSFET 2N7002 (2N7002P,215 Nexperia) with Rds On = 1.6 Ohm. Device power is regulated 3.45V (can't be changed)...
