It is the longest video we&rsquo;ve done yet, coming in just over 7 and a half minutes.</p> <p>There is a basic overview of how MOSFETs work, compared to a BJT.  And something that is really important to consider:  how hot is it going to get?  So we go through how to calculate power dissipation and if you need a heat sink.</p>
