Descriptions
The 2N7000 is an Enhancement-mode (normally-off) transistor that uses a vertical DMOS structure and a well-proven silicon gate manufacturing process. This combination produces a device with the power handling capabilities of bipolar transistors as well as the high input impedance and positive temperature coefficient inherent in MOS devices. Characteristic of all MOS structures, this device is free from thermal runaway and thermally induced secondary breakdown.
N-channel MOSFET consists of three pins: Gate, Drain, and Source. The gate pin controls the gate voltage to adjust the charge of the channel. The drain pin is connected to the side from which current flows, and the source pin is connected to the side from which current comes.
2N7000 is a transistor suitable for low-voltage and low-current circuits, where the input voltage is relatively low and the current is small. For example, it is used to control a power switch using the digital output signal of a microcontroller.
