Study Notes
Advantages of MOSFETs
- The main advantage of MOSFETs over BJTs in amplifiers is their high input impedance, making them suitable for high-gain amplifiers.
MOSFET Basics
- MOSFET stands for Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor.
MOSFET Structure
- The Gate of a MOSFET is typically formed from a metal electrode separated from the semiconductor material (silicon) by a thin layer of insulating oxide.
MOSFET Prevalence
- MOSFETs are more common than BJTs in digital and analog circuits due to their high input impedance, low power consumption, and fast switching capabilities.
MOSFET Operation
- The conductivity of a MOSFET is determined by the voltage applied to the Gate, which controls the flow of current between the Drain and Source terminals.
