What is a MOSFET? How MOSFETs Work? (MOSFET Tutorial)
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 !
Better tutorials than what I learned in school.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
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.
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!!
I just learned more about MOSFETs in 8 minutes then I did in two YEARS of AA degree classes.
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!
Thank you God bless you, the more you help to give, the given wisdom you shall receive abundantly !!!
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
Brilliant explanation! Thank you very much!
Your explanation got my novice level head aligned on the MOSFET. Thank you.

Great background on MOSFETs. Thanks!
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.
Thanks for the teaching

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.
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.
Allsome work guys from cruzermans inventions 😁👍🎉🌟
Thanks a lot for your sharing Sir.

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.
Good stuff....was better when EE were specialists back then.
best video simple way explain 😉
Thank you so much ☺️
great video 👍 respect from Gilgit Baltistan❤😊

Very well done.
Thank you so much ☺️🙏
Thank you for this explication
I'm so glad it was useful. Thank you 🙏
thanks
Nice info, thanks :)
Thank you so much ☺️🙏
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.
Great video, thanks.
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?
i like it.
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.
This is we ll explained and understandable
Thank you so much 😊
Super materiał bracie!
Thank you so much ☺️
If there's JFET and MOSFET, what about BOBAFET? Kidding aside, I love your explanation between these two. Thank you.
thank you alot
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.
Nice
Wouldn't it be better to have a diode on the output of the uController to prevent reverse current?
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 🤙
Still nfi on my quest 2 build a deathstar, cheers anyhoo :-)

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 😊🙏
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.
So good
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
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.
Great mosfet introduction
Thank you so much ☺️
Well explained 👏 👌 👍.
Thank you so much ☺️🙏🏼
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.
Baba Mosfet. Wasn't he a bounty hunter in Star Wars?
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.
You can find the whole acronym MOSFET in the mosfet symbol. That's crazy.
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.
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 🤭
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.

I think you flipped sourced and drain for the fauset explaination.... I could be wrong, but idk, it just confused me lmao
Yes, the fact that P & N mosfet actually have different directions makes the faucet analogy even more strange. Since in one of them, water would stream in reverse anyways.
The problem is that it's conventional to draw circuits with the 'ground' as a common rail connected to -ve, with the'electricity' entering from the +ve, going through the components, and 'back' to -ve. So N-channel FETs have the 'electricity' going from drain (+) to source (-). This is because, when electricity was first discovered, it was believed to flow from + to -, and the convention stuck. BUT, electricity is actually a flow of negatively charged electrons from -ve to +ve. So the tap analogy must be referring to the concept of 'electricity' rather than what actually happens.
@@paulrudman1349my compliments to your observation I’m an old man who uses electron flow hence electronics Cheers
I'm thinking that "The MOSFETs" would be a great band name. 😁
😂👍
There used to a band called "The Moffats".
It might get changed to "The Misfits"
Hey teacher, you cannot hold mosfet transistor like showed on introducing picture. Electrostatic discharge may damage it.
Like it
5:15 "If we talk about this circuit, since there's no damage to the potentiometer, this circuit will work smoothly even if there's no resistor." First the resistor is there to protect the MOSFET - Now it's ok to run w/o it since the potentiometer's still good.🤔
Yeah it seems teacher had no idea what he is talking about
I still don't understand why a resistor needs to be there.
Electrons flow from the negative to the positive round a DC circuit
Absolutely true, but to this day, diagrams are STILL made using "conventional flow"🤔. I don't know why this tradition persists. 🤷♂️
@@jamesslick4790 too much literture too change so easier and less confusing to keep using conventional
They don't change it because they will not that to many people think about it. when you think deeper about the true direction of the flow, that will show that everything they teach about electron movement is false and in reality they know nothing about they have only theories! about how electricity works.
@@Toxxxic_ Just have a program change the literature. Going forward it doesn't make sense -- to me -- to keep the traditional concept of current flow when electron flow makes more sense.
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 😔
