    Diff BTWN MOSFET and BJT

    Uploaded by

    Madan R Honnalagere
    BJT and MOSFET are both transistor types, but they differ in their operation and characteristics. BJT is a current-controlled device that operates based on the current at its base terminal, while MOSFET is a voltage-controlled device whose conduction is determined by the voltage at its insulated gate terminal. BJTs are typically used for low current switching applications due to being cheaper, whereas MOSFETs are preferred for high power functions and are more commonly used in modern digital and analog circuits due to their higher efficiency.

    Difference Between BJT and

    MOSFET
    Categorized under Technology

    BJT vs MOSFET
    The transistors BJT and MOSFET are both useful for amplification and switching
    applications. Yet, they have significantly different characteristics.
    BJT, as in Bipolar Junction Transistor, is a semiconductor device that replaced
    the vacuum tubes of the old days. The contraption is a current-controlled device
    where the collector or emitter output is a function of the current in the base.
    Basically, the mode of operation of a BJT transistor is driven by the current at the
    base. The three terminals of a BJT transistor are called the Emitter, Collector and
    Base.
    A BJT is actually a piece of silicon with three regions. There are two junctions in
    them where each region is named differently the P and N. There two type of
    BJTs, the NPN transistor and the PNP transistor. The types differ in their charge
    carriers, wherein, NPN has holes as its primary carrier, while PNP has electrons.
    The operation principles of the two BJT transistors, PNP and NPN, are practically
    identical; the only difference is in biasing, and the polarity of the power supply for
    each type. Many prefer BJTs for low current applications, like for switching
    purposes for instance, simply because theyre cheaper.
    Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor, or simply MOSFET, and
    sometimes MOS transistor, is a voltage-controlled device. Unlike the BJT, there is

    no base current present. However, theres a field produced by a voltage on the


    gate. This allows a flow of current between the source and the drain. This current
    flow may be pinched-off, or opened, by the voltage on the gate.
    In this transistor, a voltage on an oxide-insulated gate electrode can generate a
    channel for conduction between the other contacts the source and drain.
    Whats great about MOSFETs is that they handle power more efficiently.
    MOSFETs, nowadays, are the most common transistor used in digital and analog
    circuits, replacing the then very popular BJTs.
    Summary:
    1. BJT is a Bipolar Junction Transistor, while MOSFET is a Metal Oxide
    Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor.
    2. A BJT has an emitter, collector and base, while a MOSFET has a gate, source
    and drain.
    3. BJTs are preferred for low current applications, while MOSFETs are for high
    power functions.
    4. In digital and analog circuits, MOSFETs are considered to be more commonly
    used than BJTs these days.
    5. The operation of MOSFET depends on the voltage at the oxide-insulated gate
    electrode, while the operation of BJT is dependent on the current at the base
