Teensy adapter board

I have found that the drive from the teensy adapter board will not drive the 75NS04Z fets . Yes the led's do light but thats a false positive because they only require a few ma. My injectors are 15 ohms and the 75NS devices will only provide around 10ma. I suspect that a high pressure fuel pump would need upwards of an amp. The solution is 3.3v to 5v translators or different fets.

Do you have 12v connected to speedy?
Speedy will supply the ground to FP not 12v

I have the fets on a test board with Vcc 13.6v and a pot connected to the gate to supply ether 3.3v or 5v. The gate threshold on the 75NS04Z is 3.2v so it would be expected that 3.3v of drive would be to low.

True, the STP75NS04Z has a Vgs of 2 to 4 volts, so it may not try to turn on at all under 4V. In-fact, it does not see full turn-on (minimum Rds) until 10V at the gate. If using 3V3 drive, I would suggest using a different MOSFET designed for proper operation at 3V3 gate voltage. Another solution would be to add a proper gate driver to the circuit and keep the STP75NS04Zs.

That said, I would be curious what your drain-source resistance is at 3V3 using the STP75NS04Z ?

Dave,
The rds runs around 400 ohms when driving a 15 ohm load and a vgs of 3.25v with vds at 13.6v. It takes a vgs of around 4.5v to drive a high Z injector to 800ma.

Yeah, that's a fail, as-expected. Back to other options.
