If you could laser etch the casings off of some more transistors I would be interested in buying them. If you are interested in such a deal let me know and I'll give you more details as to the application.
please can u explain what inside pc motherboard ,its cool with laser like your intro. and what connect .i cannot find anywhere .if u can try with am4 motherboard ,Thanks before😊👍
@@EngineeringMindset Amazing level of detail and knowledge, id agree that's the best MOSFET video I've ever seen and it beats most academic explanations and teachings too !
I've been playing with electronics as a hobby for over 20 years. No one has ever explained MOSFETs this comprehensively to me before. This made me flash back into time when i understood how BJT's worked for the first time.
Hi,iam also a boy who has tried and progressing in understanding transistors.As a long time hobbyist of electronics,can you recommend us any books or how to learn the electronics and build useful complex circuits with understanding
I am an independent learner. Autistic and not very good in classrooms. Your videos are amazingly helpful. Thank you for your videos that are audio-visually stimulating and engaging.
Amazing video, I’m a current EE undergrad, when i took electronics, my professor didn’t seem to throughly explain MOSFETs like you did. I look forward to your uploads!
I think most professors take many time to explain and they might say without giving importance to its real life applications,it is one thing's applications that makes it interesting
If I could make a suggestion: When teaching about something like this, where there are multiple versions of the same thing, I've found that it's incredibly helpful to go through use cases for the different versions. It's so much easier to understand and remember what something does, when you understand what problem it solves. In any case, thank you for yet another amazingly well produced and presented video.
@@EngineeringMindsetAbsolutely, and the examples do highlight what the "normal" mosfet is used for, which is great. But the example doesn't show when or why you would use the different types. It might be outside the scope of a single video, and it's probably a ton of work to come up with a unique demonstration for each type. It's just something that worked for me when I was learning to program. When I didn't understand why a function worked like it did, I just had to find out which problem it was designed to solve.
@@EngineeringMindset I think perhaps they were talking something more practical on why N and P type exist and why one would get used over another. Or that depletion mode mosfets are very rarely used outside fairly specific niches.
@@whynotdean8966 @whynotdean8966 Your request was simple and helpful, I also learn best the same way, by application examples. Sadly this is exactly why science remains confusing to so many; those who possess the knowledge often teach to the same perceptive syntax as themselves, as well as respond to queries in kind. AI can overcome this, but I for one am sad to see humans fall short of optimizing education first. Interaction is valuable and should be cultivated. Thanks for your suggestion.
when i was young, I was in a job interview and they showed me the symbol of MOSFET and asked me what it is, so I answered: transistor, they said: no! Its a MOSFET, so I told them: yea, but still a transistor. Did not get the job :D
Great video. Just wanted to point out at 10:50 and 11:15 that p and n type materials are neutral. The p is for holes(positive) majority carriers and n is for electrons(negative) majority carriers. Then when they both diffuse(movement due to concentration gradient) in opposite type material at p-n junction, then space charge region is formed.
It would take a feat of engineering to design a simpler explaination of Mosfets. LOL Good pacing, animation, real parts demonstration, and starting with basic switches were all fantastic.
I did quit engineering for I.T for a lack of such explanation in my previous school. However, I'm finding this very handy as an IOT enthusiast! Good job Engineering mindset!
An old noob here, trying to learn and figure stuff out, this really helped me out with this simple circuit diagram. I was able to finally figure out what I was doing wrong, now I can finish my project. Thank you
Generally I watch educational videos in speed multiplied. This is the first video i have ever watched in 0.75x. Even then watched it on repeat at some points. Pure content☺️ Most of the knowledge about electronics I have aquired is from your channel, which was suggested by one of my friend. Thanks a lot for your work 🥰
WOW. Hands down this is the best and most thorough explanation of MOSFETs I’ve ever witnessed. This is coming from an Electrical Engineer that has taken many classes on them. What beautiful intuitions this provides oh my word!
Well this is embarrassing - I’m an EE by education and have some experience with FETs but had only really ever considered N and P types - the enhancement and depletion attributes were phrases I’d heard but never needed to understand 😳 Every day’s a learning day as the saying goes 👍
Took the ASVAB today for Air Force, needed atleast 60 on the electrical portion of the test to go into the field I want, if I didn’t get the score I wanted i’d have to go into a different field or wait 6 months in order to retake the test. I went online to find what I could to study, I came across your channel and watched probably half your videos and watched some multiple times, with one month of studying a couple hours a day I was able to turn my original 33 score into a 67 for electrical information. Thank you, truly.
This video is exactly what I've been searching for! The explanations are clear, and I appreciate how accessible it is for everyone. Thank you so much for sharing such valuable content for free! One suggestion I have is to consider slowing down the pace of the practical explanations a bit, as they can be a little quick. Keep up the great work!
i am studying electronics engineering and the top ranking student at my uni, and i know how mosfets works physically BUT i realised didnt know anything at all about the practical usage of them until this video. bless you
I'm a MechE senior, when I took electronic courses for my major, they taught mostly the BJT transistor and so that is what we use in lab with our arduino and motor circuits. The detailed explanation of MOSFETs you have here is fantastic and exactly what I would be hunting for as a student eager to learn about this subject. I feel lucky to have access to your channel, thanks for the education!
This is just about the only video one needs in order to go from zero to knowledgeable on transistors. The graphic illustrations are just brilliant. Thanks so much for this!
I saw this video 2 days ago and today I had job interview, interviewer ask me many questions related to MOSFET and luckily I had seen this video, this helped me a lot 😁😁😁
Just look at this analogy of transistors with water pipes, how adorable is that. Isn't it so easy and interesting to understand? Thanks so much man, because of you so many of us are now really understanding the concepts of electronic components and their working principle. HATS OFF Champ
Perfect timing. I had just finished most interesting component on the channel and this pops up. Please keep doing this, and make videos on every type of sensors in the future
Great video! You got something wrong at 10:46 tho. The whole material is neutral as phosphorus also has 15 instead of 14 protons. The n-type refers to the negative charge carriers.
Absolutely the best explanation of a MOSFET available. I wish I had this 30 years ago. Due to poor grades, I was 'asked' to leave EE program in 1991. I would have had to repeat 3 years, plus take 2 more, or I could finish Comp Sci in 10 months. Thank you for amazing material.
Take care, an n-type doped material is NOT negatively charged. The Phosphor atom does have 5 electrons but it also has 5 protons, evening out the overall charge of the material.
The best electronic engineering videos on the internet! The way you simplify and solidify the concepts is literally incredible. And we highly appreciate it. Keep up with the good work!
This is amazing. I'm looking at concepts I thought I'd known reasonably well for 40 years and having aha moments one after another. Really well considered explanations and great graphics. Incredible exploration of transistor operation, specifically MOSFETs. Thank you so much
Always wondered how they work, will help me when I become a licensed sparky (Electrician) and then I can take on engineering projects while having an advanced understanding on the components used
This was an instant subscribe. Maybe the best basic (not math) descriptions for FETs I’ve seen. Great animations clear script, awesome work. Thank you!
I could be good to mention the Body diode on mosfets are always there, And when you apply greater voltage on the source than drain the mosfet will always conduct no matter if the Gate is active or not. Also that the gate to source voltage is what turns the mosfet on and if you have it configured in a way that the source voltage can be different than 0 Volts such as when you have a load in the path to ground you must add up that voltage to keep the gate on otherwise the mosfet turns off again. this could happen in the reversing motor example in the video. also that you can have 2 different sources of voltages to go around this problem in example using a driver transformer for switching applications. I could talk mosfets all day
Came to the comments to see if I was the only one. This is a more thorough explanation than I normally see, so I was hoping to see those details. Never really understood why that diode is there until I saw him add that wire to the body. Would have been nice to see that covered.
@@mattn5011 yeah. This body diode in mosfets are not really added by choice but it is a part of what makes a mosfet what it is. Due to the specific doping of materials you gain this diode in one direction of the chip. Sometimes you have avalanche rated body diodes and sometimes not. But you can in certain types of operation use these as snubber networks too
After years of working with MOSFETs, this video finally gave me a more intuitive understanding of how they work! Thank you for this comprehensive and clearly presented video!
At 10:50 according to charge neutrality the overall material will be electrically neutral because we doped the material with phosphorus atom which has same number of electrons and protons hence although it has an extra electron in valance shell but it has same number of protons as well so it will be electrically neutral 😊
This was an inmense resource. I had knowledge on mosfets but I didnt realize that since the gate is a capacitor, it will stay activated if its not discharged. Also, your explanation made clear the usages or P and N type for normally closed and open mosfets, since depending on type you need either positive or negative voltage to activate the mosfet.
I share this channel with as many electrical outlets I can to explain to others how things work. My go to for simulation and explanation of electrical devices.
I really appreciate it Mr. Evans!! This is exactly what I've been needing. I watched something last night on the 'HVAC School' channel where the topics covered included how technicians who truly understand a working principle are able to construct and modify a visual representation in their minds as they work, and how critical this is. Every video of yours has helped me to understand and appreciate more of the physics of electrical engineering. I have shared many of your fundamental videos with my coworkers, study partners, and even my siblings over the last couple years. You are truly teaching and inspiring confidence in a generation of technicians and engineers. I appreciate you!
I don’t think anyone could have explained to me as good as you did in this video. Until now I had a huge problem with mosfets. They always seemed way too complicated and didn’t make sense to me until now👏 Thank you so much!
you explained capacitor concept so easy, I had that confusion since high school and google and my teachers didn't explain me well. it was today in my second year engineering I learnt that it is only a wall between two charges
I dont normally give thumbs up as I am lazy but this is great work. If only my tutors could have explained pinch off and saturation as well as you did. Well done !
At 11:20, I think that instead of carriers migrating to the other side, the electrons and holes recombine in the depletion region and what repels more charge carriers from coming is ions in the lattice.
I've solved various MOSFET-related problems in the school days. Then, I stumbled upon a video from Engineering Mindset, a platform I often turn to for electrical engineering insights. This video offered a comprehensive explanation of MOSFET operation, shedding light on why my Arduino Nano may have malfunctioned when attempting to regulate the speed of a DC motor during my DIY projects.
i'm thanking you for making this video. Playing with various mosfet prove my understanding of mosfet is not perfect and your video help me to understand easily.
I wish I have watched this video years ago. The information is so clear and easy to understand And I haven't known this: 5:34 using an incorrect circuit or no resistor at all (thinking that only bjts need them)
man that was a great explanation of this topic i am a third year electrical engineering student and i learned more from this video than from my electronic class
Wow, suddenly everything makes sense. I just realized that this is how the lm317 works. I had thought of it like a small magic box before. Thanks Paul :) you've helped me learn so much about each component in current controlled drivers.
I'm a Mechatronics Engineer with 7yrs of experience in Machine's Service and Maintenance. Let me tell you one thing, I've never seen a video with such better explanation till date. Subscribed your channel bcz today I learnt something here that will add a good value in my life. Good Work 👍
Thanks for good explanation on how they work. And explaining how to properly use resistors to protect arduino and so on. Would interesting to watch you build 1000w 12V SMPS with current and voltage both 0-100% adjustable that would give high quality low ripple DC with that level of explanation. Would probably be like 10 hour long playlist but it would be very interesting if such mega project would be done so that it assumes zero prior knowledge from a viewer.
good video. Its great to know how to use these things. Especially now in this DC era. At my work we recently had some mosfet blows, I believe because of gate discharge delay. Glad to see how this could happen.
I've been dabbling with electronics for 15 years or so, mainly with DIY kits, and though I knew their purpose, I never understood how they work on this level. So simple!
Learning about how these work in class, and then ACTUALLY learning how they work in your channel, is so nice! I can tead technical descriptions of these all day but without a simplified explrnation and actually seeing it, i wont get it that well. So THANK YOU for the comminity posts holighting these videos! They are too notch and i would probebly forget to check your channel for vids on them otherwise.
Keep learning and practicing. If you don't know where to start, a good way to start practicing is with an electronics kit that has a breadboard. Also make sure to have 9 volt batteries for your breadboard circuits also. Good luck young man! 👍
10:50 Better would've been to say, 'It's n-channel because the free carriers are negatively charged.' Because, overall either n-doped or p-doped or just silicon are all neutral. When phosphorus is added, it not only brings an extra electron but also an extra proton with it. On atomic scale, there are charge imbalances because of the free carriers moving here and there but the overall structure is neutral.
This is waaaaay more info than I was expecting. I didn't know the science would be broken down at such a fundamental level. I just want to know what one to buy to turn on a small DC motor
Never heard of the "depletion type"... I always saw the PCh as "normally on" (because if you have a current flowing, and 0V on the Gate, you have a negative Vgs by default) and the NCh as "normally off". Thanks for the enlightenment.

This is the best explanation I ever see, much better than I saw in university. Thanks!
Wow, suddenly everything makes sense. I just realized that this is how the lm317 works. I had thought of it like a small magic box before. Thanks Paul :) you've helped me learn so much about each component in current controlled drivers.
I'm a Mechatronics Engineer with 7yrs of experience in Machine's Service and Maintenance. Let me tell you one thing, I've never seen a video with such better explanation till date. Subscribed your channel bcz today I learnt something here that will add a good value in my life. Good Work 👍
Very good description indeed. Congratulations
Thanks for good explanation on how they work. And explaining how to properly use resistors to protect arduino and so on. Would interesting to watch you build 1000w 12V SMPS with current and voltage both 0-100% adjustable that would give high quality low ripple DC with that level of explanation. Would probably be like 10 hour long playlist but it would be very interesting if such mega project would be done so that it assumes zero prior knowledge from a viewer.
This is the best video I've seen about mosfet!!!! Congrats
Your content is so amazing! This MOSFET video is pure gold! Thank you!
Glad you enjoy it!
Woah. I finally understood MOSFETs... With this I had the same moment of realisation as with integrals and derivatives when I finally got it 😮
This is definitely very informative and very interesting. You made this so easy to follow and understand. Thank you sir.
I took a degree in Engineering physics. What a delight to be refreshed in this topic by such a well created video. Thanks!
good video. Its great to know how to use these things. Especially now in this DC era. At my work we recently had some mosfet blows, I believe because of gate discharge delay. Glad to see how this could happen.
This is pure gold, it should be in a paid course!
Pls not😂
I've been dabbling with electronics for 15 years or so, mainly with DIY kits, and though I knew their purpose, I never understood how they work on this level. So simple!
Thank you, this is one of the best video i've ever seen about mosfets ❤
Thank you Andrea, much appreciated and glad you enjoyed
You are making a best videos for us thankyou ❤
Ok, this is the best explanation of transistors i've ever seen. Much appreciated.
Thanks a lot for making this video. Explanation of MOSFET working in very simple and crisp way.
That PN junction explanation is perfect. Thank you
Nejlepší videa ever ! Tohle má být v učebnicích na škole.
Learning about how these work in class, and then ACTUALLY learning how they work in your channel, is so nice! I can tead technical descriptions of these all day but without a simplified explrnation and actually seeing it, i wont get it that well.
So THANK YOU for the comminity posts holighting these videos! They are too notch and i would probebly forget to check your channel for vids on them otherwise.
I am a student of Class 7th but quite interested in Electronic components
Keep learning and practicing. If you don't know where to start, a good way to start practicing is with an electronics kit that has a breadboard. Also make sure to have 9 volt batteries for your breadboard circuits also. Good luck young man! 👍
It will be very useful for u in Btech first year.
Huh! I have been doing it when I was 7-8 years old
10:50 Better would've been to say,
'It's n-channel because the free carriers are negatively charged.'
Because, overall either n-doped or p-doped or just silicon are all neutral. When phosphorus is added, it not only brings an extra electron but also an extra proton with it. On atomic scale, there are charge imbalances because of the free carriers moving here and there but the overall structure is neutral.
This is waaaaay more info than I was expecting. I didn't know the science would be broken down at such a fundamental level. I just want to know what one to buy to turn on a small DC motor
Never heard of the "depletion type"... I always saw the PCh as "normally on" (because if you have a current flowing, and 0V on the Gate, you have a negative Vgs by default) and the NCh as "normally off".
Thanks for the enlightenment.
Thank you so much for the wonderful explanation 😊
