Understand the difference.
Compare the meaning, drawing context and source references of two entries. A similar graphic or shared abbreviation does not establish equivalence.
N-DMOS
SymbolsN-channel depletion MOSFET
An N-channel insulated-gate device that conducts at zero gate-to-source voltage according to its device characteristics.
- Drawing use
- Schematic
- Application
- Electronic components
- Reference family
- Manufacturer
A distinction that matters
Depletion-mode conduction at zero gate bias differs from enhancement mode and changes the circuit's default state.
N-MOS
SymbolsN-channel enhancement MOSFET
An insulated-gate transistor whose N-channel conduction is enabled by the documented gate-to-source drive.
- Drawing use
- Schematic
- Application
- Electronic components
- Reference family
- Manufacturer
A distinction that matters
Enhancement mode differs from depletion mode; a MOSFET gate must not be treated as a bipolar base-current input.
