pMOSFET

English

Etymology

p +‎ MOSFET, where n denotes "positive" or "p-type".

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈpiːˌɛmˌoʊˌɛsˌɛfˌiːˌtiː/

Noun

pMOSFET (plural pMOSFETs)

  1. (electronics, semiconductors) A type of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) that utilizes an p-type channel, conducting when a voltage voltage below a threshold is applied to the gate relative to the source. It is commonly used in complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technology alongside nMOSFETs.
