  2. Emitter turn off thyristor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emitter_turn_off_thyristor

    This stops regenerative latching process and results in a fast turn-off. Both the MOSFET connected to the cathode and MOSFET connected to the gate of the thyristor is not subjected to high-voltage stresses irrespective of the magnitude of the voltage on the ETO, due to the internal structure of the thyristor containing a P-N junction. The ...

  3. Inrush current limiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current_limiter

    NTC thermistors can be used as inrush-current limiting devices in power supply circuits when added in series with the circuit being protected. They present a higher resistance initially, which prevents large currents from flowing at turn-on. As current continues to flow, NTC thermistors heat up, allowing higher current flow during normal operation.

  4. Solid-state relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_relay

    Many SSRs use optical coupling. The control voltage energizes an internal LED which illuminates and switches on a photo-sensitive diode (photo-voltaic); the diode current turns on a back-to-back thyristor , SCR, or MOSFET to switch the load. The optical coupling allows the control circuit to be electrically isolated from the load.

  6. Depletion and enhancement modes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depletion_and_enhancement...

    In most circuits, this means pulling an enhancement-mode MOSFET's gate voltage towards its drain voltage turns it on. In a depletion-mode MOSFET, the device is normally on at zero gate–source voltage. Such devices are used as load "resistors" in logic circuits (in depletion-load NMOS logic, for example).

  7. Bootstrapping (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(electronics)

    An N-MOSFET/IGBT needs a significantly positive charge (V GS > V th) applied to the gate in order to turn on. Using only N-channel MOSFET/IGBT devices is a common cost reduction method due largely to die size reduction (there are other benefits as well). However, using nMOS devices in place of pMOS devices means that a voltage higher than the ...

  8. Drain-induced barrier lowering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain-induced_barrier_lowering

    In short-channel devices this is no longer true: The drain is close enough to gate the channel, and so a high drain voltage can open the bottleneck and turn on the transistor prematurely. The origin of the threshold decrease can be understood as a consequence of charge neutrality: the Yau charge-sharing model. [ 1 ]

  9. Power MOSFET - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_MOSFET

    NXP 7030AL - N-channel TrenchMOS logic level FET IRF640 Power Mosfet die. The power MOSFET is the most widely used power semiconductor device in the world. [3] As of 2010, the power MOSFET accounts for 53% of the power transistor market, ahead of the insulated-gate bipolar transistor (27%), RF power amplifier (11%) and bipolar junction transistor (9%).
