MOS开断条件

1.

A MOSFET may be thought of as a variable resistor, where the Gate-Source voltage difference can control the Drain-Source Resistance. When there is no applying voltage between the Gate-Source , the Drain-Source resistance is very high, which is almost like a open circuit。

2.

N-Channel – For an N-Channel MOSFET, the source is connected to ground. To turn the MOSFET on, we need to raise the voltage on the gate. To turn it off we need to connect the gate to ground.

P-Channel – The source is connected to the power rail (Vcc). In order to allow current to flow the Gate needs to be pulled to ground. To turn it off the gate needs to be pulled to Vcc.

3.

To use a MOSFET as a switch, you have to have its gate voltage (Vgs) higher than the source. If you connect the gate to the source (Vgs=0) it is turned off.

For example we have a IRFZ44N which is a “standard” MOSFET and only turns on when Vgs=10V – 20V. But usually we try not to push it too hard so 10V-15V is common for Vgs for this type of MOSFET.

However if you want to drive this from an Arduino which is running at 5V, you will need a “logic-level” MOSFET that can be turned on at 5V (Vgs = 5V). For example, the ST STP55NF06L. You should also have a resistor in series with the Arduino output to limit the current, since the gate is highly capacitive and can draw a big instantaneous current when you try to turn it on. Around 220 ohms is a good value.

MOS管饱和时电阻只有毫欧级别，因此一般来说导通压降通常只有0.05V

5.

BJT can switch faster than MOSFET due to the less capacitance at the control pin. However MOSFET is more tolerant to heat (stable to thermal changes) and can simulate a good resistor.

6.

因此NMOS和NPN三极管都是高端导通（在栅极电压大于源极电压时，其实此时他们的源极往往接地）。

而导通压降，BJT一般0.3V，MOS更小0.05V左右
