Gate-to-Source Voltage (Vgs) is a critical parameter in field-effect transistors (FETs) that controls the conductivity of the channel between the source and drain terminals. By adjusting the Vgs, one can modulate the current flow through the device, making it essential for switching and amplification applications in electronic circuits.

Gate-to-Source Voltage

Field-effect transistors (FETs) are semiconductor devices that control the flow of current by applying an electric field, making them essential components in modern electronics for amplifying or switching signals. Their operation is based on the modulation of charge carriers in a channel, which is controlled by a voltage applied to a gate terminal, offering high input impedance and low power consumption.
