STD12NM50N

Transistors - FETs, MOSFETs - Single

The STD 12NM50N is a silicon N-channel MOSFET (metal oxidesilicon field effect transistor) that is used in a variety of application fields and works through a unique principle.

MOSFETs are renowned for their low operating power, high switching speeds, and minimal output capacitances. Due to those qualities, they are extremely Commonly used for power supplies, amplifiers, computer applications, and switching applications.

Working Principle

The STD12NM50N operates using the gate electrode and has two modes of operation: enhancement-mode and depletion-mode.

In the enhancement-mode, an applied gate voltage increases the conduction of current in the channel between the two sources, while in the depletion-mode, it reduces the conduction. The product of the current and the gate voltage supplied to a MOSFET, is often referred to as the “drive voltage”, which is the measure of how much current is passed through the channel.

Application Field

The STD12NM50N is mainly used for DC-to-DC converters and switching applications. Its fast switching speed, low output capacitances, and low operating power make it an ideal choice for a variety of circuits.

In converters, its fast switching speed provides better regulation of the output voltage. Its low output capacitances allow it to provide higher load currents. And its low operating voltage ensures that power consumption is low.

In switching applications, its low operating power also reduces power consumption while its high switching speed allow it to switch quickly and respond to changes in the input voltage.

In addition, the STD12NM50N can also be used in motor speed control and power electronics applications.

Conclusion

The STD12NM50N is a silicon N-channel MOSFET that is used in a variety of application fields. It operates using a gate electrode and has two modes of operation, enhancement-mode and depletion-mode. It is mainly used for DC-to-DC converters, switching applications, motor speed control, and power electronics applications.
