With the above setup, due to the input gate supply connected, T1 and T2 are both in the switched ON position. When the load side AC input is switch ON, the left diagram shows how the positive half cycle conducts through the relevant MOSFET/diode pair (T1, D2) and the right side diagram shows how the negative AC cycle conducts through the other complementing MOSFET/diode pair (T2, D1). The MOSFET is a bidirectional device, from the point of view that the terminals called the ‘Source’ and ‘Drain’ can be interchanged. That is, an n channel MOSFET (taken as an example here) conducts when the gate to source voltage is above a thresh. High-Current Bidirectional Load Switch with Dual Input Support Description The NCP3902 is a high voltage, high current, bidirectional load switch. It provides input overvoltage and surge protection as well as reverse−blocking of output voltage. The logic control of the device is designed to interact with both a system controller and a wireless. To turn off the MOSFETs, the gate voltage must be no greater than the most negative voltage. With a 3Vrms input that means the gate should be no more positive than -4.2V (say -5V). If feedthrough capacitance is a problem, then use a lower impedance load.

Update Dec. 2019. Many micro-controllers today are using 3.3-volt Vcc. This is also true of Raspberry Pi. I found two MOSFETs that work at 3.3-volts.

The IRFZ44N is an N-channel device rated at 55V and RDS(on) resistance of 0.032 Ohms max. The other is a P-channel device rated at 55V and a RDS(on) of 0.02 Ohms max.

Here we will learn how power n-channel power MOSFETs operate. In this example I'm using enhancement mode devices. To use depletion mode MOSFETS simply reverse the circuits where an N-channel depletion mode MOSFET will use a variation of the P-channel enhancement mode circuit.

In plate 1 we have the symbols for depletion mode and enhancement mode MOSFETs - notice the dashed versus solid lines. In a depletion mode MOSFET gate voltage closes off the conductive channel from source (S) to drain (D). With an enhancement mode MOSFETs gate voltage opens the conductive channel from source to drain.


In the above examples we are switching a LED on/off using power MOSFETs. In the case of the N-channel such as the IRF630 when the gate (G) is greater than 5-volts the LED cuts on. The resistor on the gate of the N-channel MOSFET is used to bleed-off the electric charge from the gate and turn off the MOSFET. The resistor can be 5K-10K.


Plate 4

The voltage difference between the gate and source will turn on the MOSFET, but must not exceed a value in the spec sheet known as Vgs. To do so will damage the device. In the case of IRF630 and IRF9630 MOSFETs that value is 20-volts.

Note the internal parasitic suppression diodes are for use with magnetic loads. Not all power MOSFETs have those so check the specifications sheets. These particular transistors are optimized for switching and not for use in audio amplifiers.


The largest use of these circuits is H-bridge motor controls. They are used in conjunction with N-channel MOSFET switches.

Note that Rg (or Rgs) is used to bleed the charges off the MOSFET gates or else they may not turn off.

Bidirectional solid state relays are had to find in particular for high power switching. Here we will build one.

Fig. 1 illustrates my bidirectional MOSFET relay-switch. It used a photovoltaic opto-coupler to drive dual N-channel MOSFETs.


Fig. 2 is the schematic to the circuit in Fig. 1. The output voltage and current ratings depend on the two MOSFETs used.

While Fig. 3 illustrates the possible connections for a PVT212 bidirectional SSR the same connections can be done with Fig. 2
