| Reverse polarity protection with MOSFET and what about ESD |
| (1/1) |
| Pluscrafter:
I want to build my own flightcontroller and want to protect the power input from reverse polarity(two ESC's release their smoke). But there is there a problem with ESD when you mount the Mosfets "naked" and is a Zener diode enought for protect the Gate ? |
| T3sl4co1l:
Yes, usually a resistor and zener is added to the standard circuit to provide gate voltage limiting. A TVS on the outside protects generally against ESD and surge. Tim |
