[TriEmbed] N-MOSFET Symbol

[Jim Ray]

N MOSFET means to me that diode-looking symbol needs to be present with arrow facing outward from gate. Bipolar transistors like NPN and PNP use diode which is just a fancy name for PN junction. Symbol for bipolar transistor also uses arrow. The arrow indicates direction of electron flow.

So, for NMOS and for PMOS, use the arrow. CMOS is a circuit and not a device.

Subject: [TriEmbed] N-MOSFET Symbol

I'm making an electronic symbols sheet for a summer Raspberry Pi class. Sometimes I see symbols that include the diode and sometimes without.  The kids will be using a FQP30N06L or similar in one of their projects. Are there some MOSFETS that do not have the internal diode? Do I need to include both symbols and how would I differentiate them if I do?

Thanks,
Brian Grawburg
