What’s on the MOSFET Regions poster
The rule, 3 worked examples, and the mistake everyone makes.
- A MOSFET is off below threshold, resistive while V_DS is small, and a current source…
- V_ov = V_GS − V_th · Saturated: I_D = ½k V_ov²
- V_GS below V_th = Cut-off
- V_DS under V_ov = Ohmic, R_DS(on)
- V_DS over V_ov = I_D set by V_GS
- Common mistake: Driving a standard MOSFET from 3.3 V logic → Reading R_DS(on) at the…
Naming trap: a bipolar transistor saturates when fully on, a MOSFET when acting as a current source. Opposite ends.

- Who is the MOSFET Regions poster for?
- MOSFET Regions belongs to the Electrical Engineering section rather than to a school year, because engineering is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning electronics can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the MOSFET Regions poster?
- Check which region a MOSFET is in before trusting any R_DS(on) or gain figure. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so MOSFET Regions belongs on the wall where that engineering work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with MOSFET Regions?
- BJT Operating Regions, BJT vs MOSFET and Common-Emitter Amp sit alongside MOSFET Regions in the Electrical Engineering section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.BJT Operating RegionsBJT vs MOSFETCommon-Emitter Amp
- Is the MOSFET Regions poster free to download and print?
- Yes. MOSFET Regions downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Electrical Engineering section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the MOSFET Regions poster print at?
- MOSFET Regions is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of MOSFET Regions loses nothing.Printing guide
