What is a MOSFET? How MOSFETs Work? (MOSFET Tutorial)
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 06. 2024
- Hi guys! In this video, I will explain the basic structure and working principle of MOSFETs used in switching, boosting or power balancing tasks in DC-DC converter circuits, motor driver circuits and many more power electronics circuits. MOSFETs are the most widely used field-effect transistors that operate with voltage control.
We can examine FETs in two groups as you can see here. We had a lesson in which I explained JFET before. I will explain the MOSFET in this trouble. The abbreviation of MOSFET comes from the initials of the Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor words.

The amount of knowledge we can get from these videos is enormous . I am 72 and still learning things . I may never use this knowledge but for the young people out there this videos can open up job opportunities or prepare you in the field of electronics . Even if you were not good in math !
This is exactly what I needed to know, it really dumbs down the information about the function of a mosfet into digestable and useful information I can actually use thank you!!
Perfect explanation! And The example Mosfet Driver Circuit at the end of the video, made me understand it's use cases even better. Thank you!
Better tutorials than what I learned in school.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Thank you God bless you, the more you help to give, the given wisdom you shall receive abundantly !!!
Your explanation got my novice level head aligned on the MOSFET. Thank you.
So wel explained with the picture of water valve, it makes it so much easier to picture and understand. Hopefully your other teachings are of same quality
Hello dear professor
Your lessons are really interesting and crucial, thank you so much for your help and advice,i do appreciate your job,i wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity,all the best.

Great background on MOSFETs.
Thanks!
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Very clear explanation i did enjoy it .i understand hiw they work thanks I'm your subscriber now
This channel is indeed unique and different than others.. keep it up
You forgot about the even less known Boron-Oxide Barium Field Effect Transistor, or BOBaFET.
It seems that there is even a whole book about it.
Jokes aside, nice video!
Thank you. Unfortunately, I didn't know much about this transistor.
Good Definitions about MOSFET with Related Animations are Stands Apart , Thank for Sharing and God Bless You Too .
Thank you so much 😊

Some bipolar transistors can also transmit large currents at high voltages. Note that most inverter motor controllers use IGBT transistors which are a hybrid of MOSFET and BiPolar transistors.
Excellent video, can you do a 2nd video by chance on how to measure a MOSFET to determ if it is BAD or OK ?
Thank you very much ....sir 😊
2:25 the electronic ignition in your car is highly likely to be using a BJT to fire the coil. In the GM HEI module it would be a MJ10012 or similar and would be conducting up to around 6 Amps. Almost every solid state audio amplifier from the 1960s to well into the 1980s was using bipolar transistors. High power mosfets became more popular later on. During the same period, bipolar power transistors were used in almost all mobile two-way radio equipment in the RF power transmitter stages, until power mosfet pricing and performance improved. There are plenty of high current bipolar transistors.
Thanks a lot for your sharing Sir.
Thank you so much ☺️🙏🏼
Thanks. explained well.

As a guitarist, the MOSFET distortion pedal is a very sought after tone. I have no clue why, but it gives the circuit a very unique flavor of clipping and is very popular in the blues/rock/classic metal genres. That's what brought me here.
From what I gather, it's the very fast switching rate that the MOSFET is capable of (which is one reason why it's commonly used in high-voltage power situations). Interesting that it's desirable for distortion since most tubes (12ax7, etc) are the opposite and have very sluggish responses. This is one of the reasons why the famed LM308 Opamp in Rats and Tube Screamers is supposedly so desirable.
I also started studying stuff like this because I play the guitar and wanted to build my own amps and pedals. I did build a distortion pedal with an LM386 and it sounded great. Sounded like a fuzz pedal. It was great.
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!! BY ORDER OF ME, GEORGE MILLER, DON'T EVER STOP MAKING VIDEOS 🙂

Hello, what studies are required to master the operation of this electrical board with its components?
thanks. i liked this video
Thank you so much ☺️
afters weeks of searching for a video that easily explains mosfets , I came across your video . Thanks a lot !! but can you make a video about mosfets with more than 3 pins , especially 8 pins mosfets ?
Hi. I am so glad you liked the video ☺️ I will try to do research and make a video.
thanks
This is we ll explained and understandable
Thank you so much 😊
i like it.
If there's JFET and MOSFET, what about BOBAFET?
Kidding aside, I love your explanation between these two. Thank you.
With a logic-level MOSFET, the circuit with the Arduino Uno would be just fine. however, with a power MOSFET (the kind that can control large currents), that would fry the microcontroller with the inrush current (gate forms a capacitor with the junction). In those cases, one needs to use a gate driver, which I think would be a good follow-up video subject. I've used MOSFETs to modify flywheel foam dart and ball blasters, since the motors I used have a 28 A stall current.
Still nfi on my quest 2 build a deathstar, cheers anyhoo :-)
Using the pot to variable polarize the gate is same to control the speed of your car with a valve from fuel tank to the carb or injection pump .Did you heard pulse with modulation sometimes?
thank you alot
Nice video!! Subscribed!
Thank you so much ☺️
I couldn't agree more, simple and practical knowledge.
Add another sub for sure.
Edit; It's really annoying me that I can't remember the term for power control using this method.....oh, hang on, the lazy little hamster that powers my brain just had a run on the wheel, Pulse Width Modulation, I feel so very much better now!
Pax.
Thank you
This is fing cool!
😅 Thanks 🙏
You are super explainer. I hope you make more videos for us better understand. Thank you.
Thank you very much ☺️ I will always try to make new videos 🙏🏼
wow bro u explained it so simple make more video make video on how to use it in circuit
Thank you so much 😊 I try to produce as much content as I can 🤙
Great mosfet introduction
Thank you so much ☺️
Wouldn't it be better to have a diode on the output of the uController to prevent reverse current?
I have often used the IRFzed44N.
P channel arrow going in n channel arrow going out. Thank you I have learned a lot.
Here's an easy way to memorize:
NPN = "Never Points iN" ( ⬅⭕)
PNP = "Points iN Proudly" ( ➡⭕)
So good.
Thank you so much 😊🙏
good books on Electronic circuit design recommendation. Thanks for video.

Sir. Think. for. a. nice. explaination
Thank you so much 😊🙏
Thanks.
What a great technology ❣️❣️❣️❣️ your so smart
Thank you so much.
You’re
I'd like to see some vids on reverse polarity and short protection. Also latching.
This is how a MOSFET works, Not how to build a spce craft...
Don't just buy the book, read the words...
;)
Well explained 👏 👌 👍.
Thank you so much ☺️🙏🏼
THANKS
I'd like to see a simple bare-bones MOSFET configuration like this for audio. There are 10s of thousands of "audio amplifier" designs, but I'm curious about the absolute minimum to pass an audio signal by MOSFET. If there is already such a video, my apologies for not looking first. :-)
It sounds like a mosfet is a like a bypass valve. Access to full power ( source ) but if only a partial speed is wanted it sends the unwanted current to drain thereby bypassing the unwanted voltage / current to a different loop and circulating it not wasting in in heat like a potentiometer.
Don't let the direction of current flow bother you. Think of one direction as electron-flow and the other as hole-flow. Hole-flow is aka conventional-flow and a hole can be thought of as where the electron flowing in the opposite direction used to be.
Ive been trying to tell my wife that for years, but she still won't try it.
In the last schematic of the DC MOTOR controller DRIVER module. If driving LEDS the schematic is correct. But if used as a motor controller there should be a Shottkey Diode over the motor to prevent spikes from the coil blowing up mosfet. ??
Yes, I agree that a diode (as substituted for the resistor) would be better at controlling the back-EMF as developed by the Motor - when the Motor is turned-off
One thing that was drummed into me, working with them, was how fragile MOSFETs are in relation to high voltage. This why, when handling them, you should wear an earthing strap to short out static which may be many thousands of volts; no power or danger to humans but deadly to these devices and their packaging is conductive carbon foam.
What semiconductors are used for higher-power applications, e. g. electric vehicles and hybrids, locomotives, and DC power transmission between AC grids?
now this is an interesting query 😁
hope someone answers
IGBT are used for higher power applications.
Hey teacher, you cannot hold mosfet transistor like showed on introducing picture. Electrostatic discharge may damage it.
I'm not an electrician or an engineer (that will probably become obvious in a moment) but it sounds to me like they got the drain and source mixed up. In the faucet analogy, why wouldn't the pipe leading into the spigot be the source? Is that not where the water flow is coming from?
You're right, they mixed up
@@laysleal13 It's not mixed up. This is called "conventional current". See the comment below about Ben Franklin.
People it's not right or wrong, you can connect a p channel MOSFET source to a positive voltage and have the drain on negative, so then which way is current flowing? Well, drain to source right? So without more context to the application you can't say whether it's wrong or right. It's just a rough visual of how the device generally works, don't try to hook your FET up to the water spigot.
You are right about the water tap.
So when you turn on a tap, water flows from the drain to the source of the water?? That's where I switched off....
In an N-type MOSFET, electrons flow internally from the source to the drain, but conventional current flows opposite, from the drain to the source. So, if we choose to have water flowing in the direction of conventional current (as opposed to having it represent the flow of electrons) then that diagram would be correct, with water flowing from drain to source. It may be confusing, but that is the fault of 1980's electrical engineers, not the channel author.
@@prestonbecker8784 the channel author should have used an Pchannel then, or used a diagram that was different, this is absolutely the choice of the channel author. This choice made it confusing for their viewers. Not the "1980's electrical engineers" you are attempting to misdirect the problem at.
That's because there are two types of MOSFET, a P channel would go like you think from Source to Drain, a N channel (far more common) goes from Drain to Source. I agree not the best analogy.
At 6:37 with the PWM you don't show any positive leads to micro controller. I don't know maybe it has a separate power source. You show 2 negative leads going to it.
2N3055s have 15A continuous and Vceo of 60 volts. First used well over 50 years ago
I was going to mention this. Back when I was building power amplifiers in the late 1970s I had a large range of both NPN and PNP BJT transistors from which to choose with collector current ratings over 15 amps.
@@bunkie2100 I was working on VHF and UHF mobile network transmitters in the 1980s, no mosfets there either.
Nice video but I am wondering why you didn’t use a diode to protect the circuit instead of the resistor.
Thank you so much ☺️🙏 Unfortunately, when I was preparing the script of the video, I didn't think of it 😔
How about enhancement mode and depletion mode.
Like it
What if you're trying to control AC power?
cool
👍👌👌
Long life and prosperity
@ 4:39, it will be interesting to see how that 10KΩ resistor was calculated.
I'd say it's because the potentiometer is a 10KΩ. In effect this creates a total variable resistance of 20KΩ that has a physical limit set at 50%. Using the principles of a voltage divider, the voltage at the slider would vary between 4.5V to 9V when measured in reference to ground (which is the negative). And most likely to prevent a high current or short situation between the DRAIN and the GATE.
Can you tell me what does that Zener diode mean in the MOSFET symbol? I've seen MOSFET symbols with and without it. Does it represent some side effect of a MOSFET, or do they literally put a Zener diode in a a MOSFET for some purpose?
I haven't looked it up in a while, so maybe double check my info, but if I'm not mistaken the zener symbol is used to symbolize that this particular MOSFET is "Repetitive Avalanche Rated". The ones you see with just the diode symbol means it's NOT Repetitive Avalanche rated, so avalanches will result in a catastrophic failure, just like a typical diode.
That's how it was described to me long ago... hopefully that helps.
@@Big74Mike2012 Sir ,i am stupid ! My q is that the diode = rds?
Zener 🤭
