MOSFETs, or Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors, are by far the most common FETs in both digital and analogue circuits. The 'Metal' in the name is an anachronism from early chips where gates were metal – modern chips use polysilicon gates.
MOSFETs with fast diodes
- These are ideal for power switching applications. Incorporating a rugged fast diode into the MOSFET improves the dc/dt performance of the device and very often eliminates the need for additional fast freewheeling diodes.
N&P Channel MOSFETs
HF MOSFETs
Low on resistance MOSFETs
- The on-resistance of power MOSFETs tends to increase with temperature. Waste heat lost on this resistance causes more heating of the junction, further increasing the temperature. New production processes have therefore been developed to reduce the on-resistance
