![]() MOSFETs are semiconductor-based devices, and are mostly built using either P-type or N-type silicon. In most cases, the MOSFET’s bulk is connected to the source, which is why MOSFETs are commonly referred to as 3-pin devices.įigure 1: MOSFET P-Channel MOSFETs vs. When the MOSFET is turned on, current flows from the drain to the source of the MOSFET, through a channel created in the bulk (also called the body). The MOSFET is controlled by applying certain voltage conditions to the gate. These devices act as voltage-controlled current sources, and are mainly used as switches or for the amplification of electrical signals. Lattice Semiconductor Reference DesignsĪ metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is an electronic device that falls under the category of field-effect transistors (FETs). ![]()
