Re: MOSFET GOT XTREMELY HOT

I just used the IRFP044 as picture shows but it gets extremely hot at
8A DC. It buzzed and I saw a sine wave stacked DC at Gate. Is't
caused by the linear region resistance?

got a picture from other website:

or any other reasons?

Thanks,

You've made a power oscillator. Reduce the gate resistor to something
like 100R. Add a 1K resistor on the inverting input. Connect 10n from
the output to inverting input.

Your MOSFET will still get extremely hot (maybe even hotter) but it
won't oscillate.
