https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/85547/pwm-not-driving-to-vdd-gndHello, I&#39;m trying to control a motor via a mosfet. Setting the mosfet on/off with pin assignment works great, however pwm at any value other than 0 or max burn out the mosfet. After looking into it, my current theory is that this is because the pwmen-USTelligent Community 13Tue, 08 Mar 2022 20:06:21 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/356988?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 08 Mar 2022 20:06:21 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:4c75f13d-d18d-4883-8451-aa820db6ab9fovrebekk<p>Hi Brendan</p> <p>It is true that more power will be burnt in the transistor when it is in the linear region,&nbsp;compared to when it is fully leading or off, but it is a bit odd that the PWM signal would never hit ground or VDD.&nbsp;</p> <p>What is your PWM frequency?</p> <p>The gate of a mosfet capacitor does act as a capacitor, which will filter the PWM signal and increase the rise and fall times. Using a lower PWM frequency should reduce the issue, and so should enabling high drive mode on the pin.&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://electronics.stackexchange.com/a/103232">This stackoverflow answer</a>&nbsp;gives a lot of good advice on controlling a&nbsp;DC motor using a MOSFET, including a discussion around the gate capacitance, and the need for a reverse diode on the motor.&nbsp;</p> <p>Best regards<br />Torbjørn</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
