Discussion
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?
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.
