I was looking at using this fet "AUIRFS8409-7P" for a 55lbs thrust trolling motor driver. it will be pwm'd and driven from a pic. I had used a BTN8962TA half bridge driven straight from the ccp1 pin, which worked great up to half speed, I was over the current limit on that fet and could only run at top speed for a few seconds until it shut down, now my question is would I need a fet driver for this "beefier" Nfet? and if so, what might be a good match for it.
pic voltage is 5v.
motor voltage is from 12 to 16 volts
pwm range is from approx 4Khz to 20Khz
thx
