Re: Dc to Dc Buck Converter and Mosfet Driver
R2 was getting hot due to zener diode being soldered to the gate of mosfet. Resoldered as in diagram, that sorted the problem.
However, the mosfet is getting too hot, after few seconds from start up. The mosfet is ok, wiring is ok, i used function generator (square w/f) to apply 100kHz to pin 2 (input) of TC4452 Mosfet Driver. Reduced the frequency, still too hot. It seems like mosfet is in linear mode rather than on saturation mode. Can someone please help me with this problem.
Thanks
Tony
