Power MOSFET Basics
MOSFET stands for Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor. It's a voltage controlled device with 3 terminals:
- Gate (electrically insulated from the semiconductor)
- Drain
- Source
When a voltage applied between the Gate and the Source reaches a certain threshold (VGS(th) or threshold G-S voltage), the device is able to support current conduction between the Drain and the Source (ID or drain current).
When a voltage applied between the Gate and the Source is below VGS(th), the device will withstand a voltage up to BVDSS (or breakdown voltage).
MOSFETs can be used as a signal amplifier (linear operation) or as a switch in power applications.
MOSFET parameters
Like many other types of semiconductor power switches, the main parameters of a MOSFET, usually available in most datasheets, are:
- RDS(on) (on-state resistance): electrical resistance when the device is set in on state. The lower is RDS(on), the lower is the conduction loss due to power dissipation when the current is flowing.
- BVDSS (breakdown voltage): maximum drain-to-source voltage that the device is able to sustain when in off state.
- QG (total gate charge): amount of electric charge required to the gate driver to turn on/off the device itself. QG impacts directly the efficiency (the lower, the better).
The product of RDS(on) and QG is known as the MOSFET Figure of Merit (FOM).
Other important parameters are intrinsic capacitances that can affect the switching times and voltage spikes, and body drain diode when device is used as power diode, like in synchronous free-wheeling operation mode.

Main types of power MOSFETs
MOSFETs can be of different types, including:
- Depletion Mode: Normally ON. Applying the VGS would turn it OFF.
- Enhancement Mode: Normally OFF. Applying the VGS would turn it ON.
- N-channel MOSFETs: positive voltages and currents.
- P-channel MOSFETs: negative voltages and currents.
- Low voltage MOSFETs: BVDSS from 0 V to 200 V.
- High voltage MOSFETs: BVDSS greather than 200 V.
N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFETs are the most popular type used in power switching circuits because of their low RDS(on) (on-state resistance) compared to P-channel MOSFETs.
