Free Reference Materials

1. Power MOSFET Basics

Excerpt: This application note discusses the breakdown voltage, on-resistance, transconductance, threshold voltage, diode forward voltage, power dissipation, dynamic characteristics, gate charge and dV/dt capability of the power MOSFET.

2. Introduction to Power MOSFETs and their Applications

Introduction: The Power MOSFETs that are available today perform the same function as Bipolar transistors except the former are voltage controlled in contrast to the current controlled Bipolar devices. Today MOSFETs owe their ever-increasing popularity to their high input impedance and to the fact that being a majority carrier device, they do not suffer from minority carrier storage time effects, thermal runaway, or second breakdown.

3. MOS Field Effect Transistors

This is chapter four of a book on Microelectronic Circuits. The chapter deals with MOSFETs and their functioning.
