High Vds across MOSFET in saturation mode in Flyback converter during simulation

Electrical Engineering Asked on December 22, 2021

While simulating a flyback converter, I find that even in saturation mode the MOSFET, in spite of having Rds(on) around 0.74 ohms and the Ids = 5.75mA, is dropping almost the entire drain supply input voltage. The snubber circuit and the sense resister also consumes very less power.

Looks like a newbie query but I am not able to answer, is this high Vds in saturation mode expected, if yes, why? Is it because the power is a pulsating one ? Can a floating gate destroy a MOSFET? Practically I found Vds = 1.4V, does that mean the MOSFET is bad ?

I'm not sure why your mosfet isn't turning on in sim but if your simulating a flyback you should add a diode and cap to your output. Also, the phasing on your transformer is wrong. These things are actually really important to how a flyback operates.

it seems that VM3 is not pulled to ground from the graph, thus the mosfet is not able to turn off. can you plot it seperately?
