Can someone please explain to me how to choose a mosfet.
I need one to controll a DC motor using a 555 timer with > 50% duty cycle.
The motor is 8amps and 12 volts.
I am specifically lacking understanding on the Power dissipated (Pd) Paramter.
The on resistance is 0.012 ohm
Is the Pd the load current * supply voltage?
