Posts: 22 Hi, there. Can someone suggest a p channel power mosfet
I need such one to switch +28VDC rail max current of 2A. The MOSFET
is controlled by a open drain output comparator, which is 5VDC powered.
As I can see, the max IGS of the MOSFET needs to be larger than +/-
25VDC. I have checked onsemi and found nothing meet my requirement.
Thanks! Top Mike_From_Plano Post subject:

I don't think you'll find a MOSFET with such a high gate punch through,
but that's not the end of the world, you just need to modify the circuit
slightly. I'd send you a picture, but I don't know how to get it
across... SO, here goes a way to describe what you need: BOM:
1. (1) Q1, MMBT3906 (or other NPN) 2. (1) Q2, FDD8685 (or similar
P-MOSFET) 3. (1) R1, 2.2K, 1/10W, 5% 4. (1) R2, 2.7K, 1/10W, 5%
Netlist: R1, Comparitor_out, NPN_Emitter Q1, (E)NPN_Emitter,
(B)+5V, (C)MOSFET_Gate R2, MOSFET_Gate, +28V Q2, (S) +28V, (G)
MOSFET_Gate, (D) Switched_28V I hope this isn't too much a mess,
communicating it by net list. Also, this circuit is only valid for slow
switching. If you need something in the kHz, this won't get it because
the MOSFET turns on & off very slowly. If you need something
fast, post it, and I'll give you something a little more complicated
+ faster. - Mike Top Mike_From_Plano Post

Oops, Q1 should be MMBT 3904 (the NPN version!) and R2
should be 4.7K I plead old age.... Top lna

22 Thanks a lot, Mike. This is a good solution but the logic is
reversed to my application so a NOT gate is needed to fix the logic,
or maybe connect comparator output to base and emitter to GND.
Is it possible to control P-channel MOSFET gate by a N-channel FET?
I found some N-channel FEt with 30VDC VDS however max VDG is not specified
. I wonder why VDG is not important.
