Ideal MOSFET with Diode

Symbol

Description

Ideal n-channel model of a Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) with an anti-parallel Diode.

The MOSFET:

  • Opens if its gate (control input signal) is equal to zero.
  • Conducts a current from Drain to Source (or from Source to Drain) if its gate (set by the control signal) is different from zero.

Important

Since this device is composed of multiple sub-devices, it is slower than an ideal switch.

Information

The current measured by the current scope is the total current entering the Drain/Cathode pin.
