"pMOSFET" meaning in English

See pMOSFET in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈpiːˌɛmˌoʊˌɛsˌɛfˌiːˌtiː/ Forms: pMOSFETs [plural]
Etymology: p + MOSFET, where n denotes "positive" or "p-type". Etymology templates: {{compound|en|p|MOSFET}} p + MOSFET Head templates: {{en-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. Wikipedia link: CMOS#Inversion Related terms: nMOSFET
