You know what? That thing, what’s it called? MOSFET, yeah, that’s it! It’s like a little switch in them electric things, you see?
My grandson, he’s a smart one, he tried to tell me how this MOSFET work. He said it’s like a gate for them tiny electric things. You open the gate, and the little things, they go through. You close it, and they can’t get through. It’s all about that how does the MOSFET work, he says.
He kept going on about “source” and “drain” and some “gate”. Sounds like some kinda plumbing to me! He said it’s important. He said it’s MOSFET. He said the MOSFET is in everything these days, phones, them computers, even them newfangled cars. Lord knows what else! But I reckon if it helps things work, then it must be alright.
He says that MOSFET, it’s everywhere! It is the most common type. It can control how much electricity can flow. I guess it’s like how much water you let through a spigot. Just the right amount, not too much, not too little. It’s all about that flow, you see. Just like when you’re waterin’ your plants, you gotta give ’em just the right amount, not too much, not too little.
And get this, they come in different sizes, these MOSFET things. Some are for big jobs, some for small. My grandson said something about “high-power” ones. I reckon those are for the big jobs, like them big machines they use for farming. They use a lot of juice, those things.
- That MOSFET, that’s the important thing, I reckon.
- The MOSFET is important in our life.
- That little MOSFET, it’s like a little worker, always doin’ its job.
He said that there’s somethin’ called “BJT” and that MOSFET, and that they are different. He said that MOSFET got “source,” “gate,” and somethin’ else, and that “BJT” got different names. I don’t know. It’s all too much for this old brain!
And sometimes, these MOSFET things, they get hot. My grandson, he was messin’ with one the other day, and he said, “Grandma, it’s hot!” I told him, “Well, of course, it’s hot! It’s workin’ hard!” Just like when you’re out in the sun all day, you get hot too. He said something about the electric thing that’s pullin’ too much juice, makin’ the MOSFET work too hard. That make sense?
You see, if you pull too much water through a pipe too fast, the pipe might burst. Or at least get real hot, right? I guess it is similar. I told you it was like plumbing! It’s all about controlling the flow.
I reckon that MOSFET, it’s a bit like a water tap, you see? You turn it one way, the water flows. You turn it the other way, the water stops. It’s all about control, see?
My grandson, he said that MOSFET, it’s got these three parts. It is important. I still don’t rightly know what they all do, but I reckon they all gotta work together to make the thing do what it’s supposed to do. Like a team, you see?
I remember he said something about voltage and current too, that’s the key, he said. They are like the water pressure and the amount of water that’s about how does the MOSFET work. I think. Sounds complicated, but it all comes back to that flow. If there is too much current, that MOSFET, it will get too hot.
- Voltage, current, that MOSFET. It’s all connected.
- That MOSFET can control the voltage.
- Current can make that MOSFET hot.
I reckon these MOSFET things, they’re like the little engines that could. Small but mighty, you see? They’re in everything these days, makin’ sure things run just right. They are good quality. They are cheap. He said that MOSFET is simple. They make sure everything is working just right. It’s a wonder, ain’t it?
Well, there you have it. That’s all I know about that MOSFET. It’s a lot to take in, I know. But I reckon it’s important to know a little somethin’ about these things, seein’ as how they’re in everything these days. You can’t escape ’em! Not that you’d want to, mind you. They do a lot of good, these little MOSFET things. They keep things runnin’ smooth, like a well-oiled machine. And that’s somethin’ to be thankful for, ain’t it?
