MOSFETs are particularly useful in amplifiers due to their input impedance being nearly infinite which allows the amplifier to capture almost all the incoming signal. The main advantage is that it requires almost no input current to control the load current and that’s why we choose MOSFET over BJT.
Different Types of MOSFET – MOSFET works in two modes-
1.) Depletion Mode: The transistor requires the Gate-Source voltage (VGS) to switch the device “OFF”. The depletion-mode MOSFET is equivalent to a “Normally Closed” switch.
2.) Enhancement Mode: The transistor requires a Gate-Source voltage(VGS) to switch the device “ON”. The enhancement-mode MOSFET is equivalent to a “Normally Open” switch.
