Study Notes

MOSFET Characteristics

MOSFETs have the highest switching speed compared to other devices.
They are voltage-controlled, meaning they require low control power to operate.
MOSFETs have simple control circuit requirements, eliminating the need for deep saturation and zero voltage for the off state.
The negative thermal coefficient of MOSFETs enables equal current division among parallel connected devices.
Compared to BJTs, MOSFETs have higher conduction losses.
MOSFETs are available with power ratings ranging from small to small medium, handling currents in the hundreds of amps.
