Anatomy of a Transistor | BJT and MOSFET | Transistors Explained #electroniccomponents #transistors



This video explores the internal anatomy of BJTs and MOSFETs, showing how their structures allow them to control large currents with tiny signals. We break down the roles of the Emitter, Base, and Collector in BJTs, and the Gate, Source, Drain, and channel in MOSFETs.

  2. Thanks for the video, it’s very informative.
    I have a query—In a typical MOSFET (say a commonly available N-channel device), is the die usually a single MOSFET or made up of many smaller MOSFET cells with their gate, source, and drain combined?
    Also, is there a way to determine this from the datasheet or any other source?

  3. the fun thing about MOSFETs is that they're sensitive, and they can change state quite fast.

    A MOSFET, like 2 capacitors, and a variable Resistor (IIRC) are what makes up a Voltage Regulator Module. Which turns on and off VERY fast to produce a ripple-y but efficient lower or higher voltage than it's source. you can syncronize a bunch of them in various "phases', making the output more stable, those are the little gray cubes right next to the CPU socket on your motherboard…

  4. This Video didn't mention the two types of MOSFET's…. Enhancement Mode, and Depletion Mode !

    Enhancement mode types, require a voltage to turn them on, whereas Depletion mode types require a voltage to turn them off much like thermionic Valves. There are also P-type & N- types depending on polarity.
    MOSFET's can also be easily destroyed by static charges on its "Gate", so adequate precautions must be taken to protect the Gate where no internal protection has been implemented by the manufacturer.

  5. I still don't understand what differentiates emitter/collector and source/drain resp. All the models, drawings and animations that tried to explain it look pretty symmetrical to me, but use them the wrong way round and you get the magic smoke.
