Gain: The gain of a transistor, also known as the hFE, is a measure of the transistor's ability to amplify a signal.

These ratings determine the maximum safe operating conditions for the transistor.

Voltage and Current Ratings: The 2N2222 has a maximum collector-emitter voltage rating of 40V and a maximum collector current rating of 800mA.

Type: The 2N2222 is an NPN (negative-positive-negative) type of transistor, meaning it has a layer of p-type semiconductor material sandwiched between two layers of n-type semiconductor material.

The 2N2222 is a versatile and low-cost transistor that is widely used in a variety of applications, including digital circuits, power control circuits, and analog circuits. It is an NPN (negative-positive-negative) type of transistor, The 2N2222 can be used as an amplifier and a switch. A N channel MOSFET need to have a gate voltage above the source.The 2N2222 is a commonly used bipolar junction transistor (BJT) that can be used as a switch or an amplifier. Has a graph with source-to-drain resistance or drain current with your voltage shown after the point the curve flattens out.Įdit: I just realized that your circuit is incorrect also. You can find it by looking atĪ list that specifies the source to drain resistance at your target voltage Instead look for the actual resistance or drain current at your logic voltage. If you do, you need a threshold with a Max under 2V for a 3.3V logic system. You need another FET or a dedicated driver.įor the future: Don't use the threshold voltage for anything but a quick sort method. You can see that the source-to-drain resistance is specified to 8mOhms at 10V on the gate. This FET is designed to be driven with much higher voltages, around 10-15V.

The threshold is the limit for when the FET starts to conduct a very small amount of current, typically 100uA or so. The threshold voltage is not the correct parameter to look at here. Ground connections not shown (connected to Source pin)

What am I missing, and what can I do to trigger the MOSFET from the GP pins?Įach of the Gate connections on the left was tested individually. My question is, shouldn't the Pico GP Pin's 3.3V be enough to trigger the MOSFET? According to this datasheet I found (below), the Gate should work between 2-4V. It also didn't stop the motor when the 9V was disconnected from Gate, but from what I've read I need a pull-down resistor between Gate and Source to fix this (not sure) Then I tried with a 9V battery, and this time the MOSFET did trigger the motor. Then I tested with 2x AA batteries, and the MOSFET didn't trigger the motor. When the Pico GP pin was wired and set to high, the MOSFET didn't trigger the motor. For each of these tests ground was connected to the Source pin. Not pictured in the schematic is the ground from the Pico, AAs, and 9V. I tried 3 different things connected to the Gate pin. To try and fix this, I got a set of IRF3205 MOSFETs since they have a significantly higher max current, and tried connecting one like in the schematic below. I'm pretty sure I fried with too much current from. Originally, I was testing this circuit with a smaller BJT transistor (2N2222), which would work for a few seconds, then stop.
