    This document introduces the key parameters for MOSFET devices, including absolute maximum ratings like drain-source voltage, gate-source voltage, continuous and pulsed drain current. It explains that these maximum ratings define the operational limits for the device. The document then describes some of the most important parameters in more detail, such as drain-source voltage representing the maximum voltage stress between drain and source, gate-source voltage being the operating driver voltage, and continuous drain current calculated based on junction temperature, case temperature, on-resistance, and thermal resistance.

    MOSFET datasheet parameters introduction

    Introduction
    When choosing a MOSFET, parameters that are focused on by most engineers intuitively are VDS,
    RDS(on), ID. However, in power systems, it is significant to pick up a suitable MOSFET based on
    different applications. In this application note, Taiwan Semiconductor (TSC) introduces the definition
    of every single parameter of a MOSFET, and from chapter 3, TSC also explains how each parameter is
    realized, hoping this would help designers on the power projects.

    1. Absolute Maximum Ratings

    1.1 Drain-Source Voltage (VDS )


    VDS represents MOSFET absolute maximum voltage between Drain and Source. In operations,
    voltage stress of Drain-Source should not exceed maximum rated value.

    1.2 Gate-Source Voltage ( VGS )


    VGS represents operating driver voltage between Gate and Source. In operations, voltage stress of
    Gate-Source should not exceed maximum rated value.

    1.3 Continuous Drain Current ( ID )


    ID represents MOSFET’s continuous conduction current and could be calculated by below equation.
    TJ  TC
    ID 
    TJ = Junction Temperature RJC  RDS (ON )  K
    TC = Case Temperature
    RDS(ON) = Drain-Source On-State Resistance
    RθJC = Junction to Case Thermal Resistance
    K = On-Resistance vs. Junction Temperature
