Types of MOSFETS n-channel Enhancement Mode (nMOSFET) p-channel
(pMOSFET) Depletion Mode

MOSFETs Also known as Normally Off transistors.
Enhancement mode Depletion mode Also known as Normally Off transistors. A voltage must be applied to the gate of the transistor, at least equal to the threshold voltage, to create a conduction path between the source and the drain of the transistor before current can flow between the source and drain. Also known as Normally On transistors. A voltage must be applied to the gate of the transistor, at least equal to the threshold voltage, to destroy a conduction path between the source and the drain of the transistor to prevent current from flowing between the source and drain.

PSpice MOSFET Symbols The IRF150 is an nMOS and the IRF9140 is a pMOS. Both are enhancement mode transistors. The body terminal is connected to the source terminal on the FET. “M” is used to denote that the device is a MOSFET.

Family of iD Versus vDS Curves: Enhancement-Mode nMOSFET
Triode/ Nonsaturation VDS ≤ VGS – VTN VDS ≥ VGS – VTN Pinch-off/Saturation Enhancement Mode FETs are also known as Normally Off devices. Voltage must be applied to the Gate to allow current to flow between the Source and the Drain.
15
Family of iD Versus vDS Curves: Depletion-Mode nMOSFET
Depletion Mode FETs are also known as Normally On devices. Voltage must be applied to the Gate to stop current from flowing between the Source and the Drain. Assuming that VTN < -1V
