It is done. Now, how does it


work?

n-channel MOSFET Basic Operation


Operation in the Cutoff region
pn junction:
reverse bias

iD=0

for vGS<Vt0
Schematic

When vGS=0 then iD=0 until vGS>Vt0

(Vt0 threshold voltage)

n-channel MOSFET Basic Operation


Operation in the Triode Region
For vDS<vGS-Vt0 and vGS>Vt0 the NMOS is operating in the triode region

Resistor like characteristic


(R between S & D,
Used as voltage controlled R)
For small vDS, iD is proportional
to the excess voltage vGS-Vt0
