If you ever work with a circuit that controls a decent amount of current, you will often encounter a FET – a Field-Effect Transistor. Whether you want to control a couple of powerful LEDs, switch a ...

Power MOSFETs have become the standard choice for the main switching devices in a broad range of power conversion applications. They are majority carrier devices with no minority carrier injection, ...

Paul Schimel discusses the nuances of these MOSFET bugaboos and how to mitigate them from the start with solid design practices. Here you can download Part 2 of the series.

Discrete power MOSFETs employ semiconductor processing techniques that are similar to those of today’s VLSI circuits, although the device geometry, voltage and current levels are significantly ...
