Protected Mosfet

From RepRap
Jump to: navigation, search

A protected MOSFET contains integrated transient surge protection circuitry (a source-drain zener) and is less susceptible to electrostatic discharge and other transients, as compared to standard, unprotected MOSFETs.

A "intelligent switch" contains, in addition, an integrated temperature sensor, and automatically turns itself off if it gets too hot. [1] [2] [3]
