Inverter can be classified into many types based on their output, source, type of
load etc.
1. Series Inverter
2. Parallel Inverter
MOSFET
WHAT IS MOSFET?
A metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET, MOS-FET, or MOS FET) is a
field-effect transistor (FET with an insulated gate) where the voltage determines the conductivity of
the device. It is used for switching or amplifying signals. The ability to change conductivity with the
amount of applied voltage can be used for amplifying or switching electronic signals. MOSFETs are
now even more common than BJTs (bipolar junction transistors) in digital and analog circuits.
MOSFET OPERATION
The working of a MOSFET depends upon the MOS
capacitor. The MOS capacitor is the main part of MOSFET.
The semiconductor surface at the below oxide layer is
located between the source and drain terminals. It can be
inverted from p-type to n-type by applying positive or
negative gate voltages.
When we apply positive gate voltage the holes
present under the oxide layer with a repulsive force and holes are pushed downward with the
substrate. The depletion region is populated by the bound negative charges which are associated
with the acceptor atoms. The electrons reach the channel is formed. The positive voltage also
attracts electrons from the n+ source and drain regions into the channel. Now, if a voltage is applied
between the drain and source, the current flows freely between the source and drain and the gate
voltage controls the electrons in the channel. If we apply negative voltage, a hole channel will be
formed under the oxide layer.
MOSFET TYPES:
P- Channel MOSFET
The P-Channel MOSFET consist negative ions so it works
with negative voltages. When we apply the negative voltage
to gate, the electrons present under the oxide layer through
pushed downward into the substrate with a repulsive force.
The deflection region populates by the bound positive
charges which are allied with the donor atoms. The negative
voltage also attracts holes from p+ source and drain region
into the channel region.
N- Channel MOSFET
When we apply the positive gate voltage the holes present
under the oxide layer pushed downward into the substrate
with a repulsive force. The deflection region is populated by
the bound negative charges which are allied with the acceptor
atoms. The positive voltage also attracts electrons from the
n+ source and drain regions into the channel. Now, if a voltage
is applied among the drain and source the current flows freely
between the source and drain and the gate voltage controls
the electrons in the channel. In place of positive voltage if we
apply a negative voltage (hole) channel will be formed under
the oxide layer.
IC 3525
It is a pulse width modulation controller IC which has 16 pins.
It provides two pulse width modulator signal which is
a complement of each other.
It is used to generate a PWM signal for power
electronics projects and also for switch-mode power
supplies.
It offers feedback circuitry to control the output
voltage by comparing the feedback signal with a
reference voltage.
It has a protection circuitry that shutdown the PWM
signal based on the feedback current limit.
Features of SG3525:
It can operate with a supply voltage of between 8 and
35 volts. It may damage above 40 volts.
It also has an external oscillator synchronization pin.
It has a pulse-to-pulse shutdown capability.
It can operate with a frequency range of 100 to 400KHz.
It also provides a feature of versatile dead-time control between switching signals to turn
on or off devices like MOSFETs, IGBTS and power transistors.
The maximum power dissipation is about 1000mW.
Other similar integrated circuits are SG2525, UC3525.
