Checking a MOSFET Using a Digital Multimeter

1. Set Multimeter to Diode Test Mode:
   • Turn on your multimeter and set it to the diode test mode. This mode is often represented by a diode symbol on the multimeter.
2. Identify MOSFET Pins:
   • Identify the three pins of the MOSFET: gate (G), drain (D), and source (S). Refer to the datasheet for your specific MOSFET to confirm pin configurations.
3. Check Gate-Source Diode:
   • Place the multimeter’s positive lead on the MOSFET’s gate (G) and the negative lead on the source (S). Note the reading.
   • Reverse the leads (positive on source, negative on gate) and note the reading.
   • If one direction shows a low resistance (near 0 ohms) and the other shows a high resistance (infinite or OL), the gate-source diode is likely intact.
4. Check Drain-Source Diode:
   • Place the positive lead on the MOSFET’s drain (D) and the negative lead on the source (S). Note the reading.
   • Reverse the leads and note the reading.
   • Similar to gate-source, if one direction shows low resistance and the other shows high resistance, the drain-source diode is likely intact.
5. Check Gate-Drain Resistance:
   • Measure the resistance between the gate (G) and drain (D) with the multimeter. It should read as an open circuit (infinite resistance).
6. Check Gate-Source Voltage:
   • Apply a small voltage (usually around 5V) between the gate (G) and source (S). This should be done with the MOSFET removed from the circuit. Monitor for any change in the drain-source resistance.
