Objectives:

• Study of switching characteristics


Theory:
The MOSFETs are the most widely used FETs. MOSFET means Metal Oxide Semiconductor
FET.
There are two types of MOSFETs:
1. D-MOSFET: Depletion MOSFET
2. E-MOSFET: Enhancement MOSFET
Both of the above types have two sub-types:
1. N-channel or simply n-type (also called NMOS in short)
2. P-channel or simply p-type (also called PMOS in short)

MOSET has three terminals: Gate (G), Source (S), and Drain (D).
In certain cases, the transistors have a fourth terminal, which is called the bulk or the body
terminal.
A common application of MOSFETs is switches in analog and digital circuits. Switches in
analog circuits can be used for example in data acquisition systems, where they serve as analog
multiplexors, which allow the selection of one of several data inputs.
A simple example of a switching circuit based on an n-type enhancement transistor and a resistor
is shown below. The voltage applied to the gate controls the conductance of the channel. A zero
or low value of VGS, the conductance is very low so that is the transistor acts like an open circuit
and no current flows through the load resistor RL. When VGS exceeds the threshold, the channel
conductance becomes higher and the transistor acts like a closed switch. The channel resistance
is not getting zero but the resistance is getting small so that the output voltage Vout is getting
small.
Fig.(a) below shows an NMOS switching FET and its models for Vin = 0 (Fig. (b)) and Vin =
+5V (Fig. (c)). In each case, the FET is modeled as a mechanical switch.

As for PMOS, a negative value of VGS has to be applied to turn the transistor on. The operation
can be described using the curves shown in figure below. When the input voltage, VGS, of the
transistor shown is zero, the MOSFET conducts virtually no current, and the output voltage, Vout,
is equal to VDD. When VGS is equal to 5V , the MOSFET Q-point moves from point A to point
B along the load line, with VDS = 0.5V . Thus, the circuit acts as an inverter. The inverter forms
the basis of all MOS logic gates.

Discussion:
By experimenting with this experiment, we learned the functions of MOSFETs. We understand
that MOSFET is used for amplification and as well as switching purposes depending on its
characteristics. From the characteristic curve of MOSFETs, we can say that VGS must be
positive to conduct currents. When the gate to source voltage is greater than threshold voltage
(set by designer) and VDS is greater than VGS-VT then MOSFET conducts in saturation region
and hence used as an amplifier and when VDS is less than VGS- VT then it is in triode region
and used as a switch similarly when VGS is zero then it is operated in cutoff region and used in
digital electronic as a switch.
