Hey guys, trying to design a circuit that uses 555IC to time a DC motor.
the motor is drawing about 3A at 9.6V.
Initially was using darlington transistors but that failed miserably and it was suggested i try using Mosfet
With a little investigation i've read that mosfets require about 10x the gate voltage compared to the source/drain? is this true? If so how would i possibly run my motor on the 9.6V battery alone??? would i not need approx 96 volts through the gate in that case?!?!
if im completely wrong and you know of any mosfets that would suit my problem i'd very much appreciate a suggestion.
thanks for any assistance you can provide
