Consider the following statements about field effect transistor temperature behaviour.

1. Drain current falls as the device warms, at a fixed gate voltage

2. Gate leakage in a junction device doubles every ten degrees

3. A MOSFET's on-resistance falls as it warms

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.1, 2 and 3
  • B.1 and 2 only
  • C.1 and 3 only
  • D.2 and 3 only

Answer: B

The first two are correct and the third is the reverse: on-resistance rises with temperature, which is precisely what makes current sharing between paralleled devices self-correcting. Getting that direction right matters, because it is the whole reason MOSFETs parallel without ballast resistors while bipolar devices do not.
