Hi there,
I have been building a generator that uses back EMF pulses to charge and repair lead-acid batteries and it works fine at the moment. However, as part of a series of upgrades I wanted to get the IRF840 FET to shut off as fast as possible to produce sharper voltage transients and for that I believe I need to use a gate driver.
My query then is what components and circuit design to use with this FET? I attach the present circuit layout.
Thanks
Jules
