About this deal

V GS(th) : Gate Threshold Voltage is the voltage at which the MOSFET starts to conduct. Any voltage less than this will drive the MOSFET to the OFF state known as the Cut-Off Region. To possibly be logic compatible, the V GS(th) needs to be well under the logic high voltage level. I used a logic level converter to convert my 3.3V signal to 5V, which works perfectly so far. Now I just need to look in to whether PWM is still possible with this setup. You need a driver circuit to boost the power – add a transistor amplifier in each control line. For example, you can use N-channel MOSFETs like the IRLB8721 that work with 3.3V and 5V logic. So, they are suitable to use with your Arduino or ESP8266.

Finding the right power supply for your strip is important to keep your strip with an appropriate brightness and to make it work correctly. To find the appropriate power supply you need to know: By calculating the RC time constant and thus the rise/fall time of gate voltage - during rise and fall theA device like this can be driven directly off of 5V logic, but because its internal resistance is twice as high, it will drop twice the amount of voltage and dissipate twice as much power/heat in the device for the same current. From a practical standpoint, this means it can handle about 1/2 the full rated current than it could handle if it was driven at 10V. I would consider this as being partially 5V logic compatible. If you are using a 60A device to control a 20A load for instance, this will generally be fine. If you need 40A out of it, then you will need to drive it harder.

Power MOSFETs are most often used a switches where they are turned fully ON or OFF to control a load such as a motor or high power LEDs. They are ideally suited for this because when the MOSFET is turned fully ON (Saturation Region), it has a very low resistance and can pass a lot of current without much power being dissipated in the device similar to a mechanical switch. When they are turned OFF (Cut-Off Region), they act as an open circuit much like a mechanical switch would when it is off. The same goes for the FET. The amperage rating doesn't tell the whole story. The heat is determined by power dissipation. When the FET is saturated the voltage dropped across it is determined by Rds(on) and the current (Ohm's Law). With Ohm's Law you can derive another way of calculating power: Power = Current 2 x R. When it comes to analog strips, there are analog RGB LED strips and monocolor LED strips. Analog Monocolor LED Strips There are cutting marks along the strip marked with a scissors icon that shows you where you can cut your strip as shown in the figure below. This strip has segments of three LEDs.Most regulator chips are thermally protected and they'll shut-down safely without burning-up. Then, they'll work again after they cool down. (Transistors & MOSFETs will just permanently die.)
