# 🔌 N-Channel MOSFET: Overview
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
An **N-channel MOSFET** (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) is a type of transistor that controls current flow using an electric field — it's a three-terminal device with:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Gate (G)** — controls the transistor
|
|
||||||
- **Drain (D)** — where current flows **into**
|
|
||||||
- **Source (S)** — where current flows **out of**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When a positive voltage is applied to the **gate** relative to the **source**, the MOSFET turns **on**, allowing current to flow from **drain to source** (D → S).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## ⚙️ Common Uses
|
|
||||||
- Power switching in motor drivers
|
|
||||||
- Voltage regulation
|
|
||||||
- Signal modulation
|
|
||||||
- Digital logic switching

# 🔁 Use in an H-Bridge Motor Controller
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
An **H-bridge** is a circuit used to control the **direction** of a DC motor. It consists of **four switches**, typically implemented with N-channel MOSFETs:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## H-Bridge Configuration:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Q1 + Q4 ON** → motor spins in one direction
|
|
||||||
- **Q2 + Q3 ON** → motor spins in the opposite direction
|
|
||||||
- **PWM control** on low-side N-MOSFETs allows speed control
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Because N-channel MOSFETs conduct easily when their **gate voltage is higher than the source**, they're ideal for **low-side switching**. High-side use may require **gate driver circuits** to boost voltage.
