mean. n. 1. Something having a position, quality, or condition midway between extremes; a medium. 2. A number that typifies a set of numbers, such as a geometric mean or an arithmetic mean.he antilog of the mean of the logarithm of the calculated values, the same as the n th root of the product of the values. It is often a more useful mean for growth curves.
Threshold Voltage Threshold voltage, V, is defined as the minimum gate bias which can form a conducting channel between the source and drain. For power MOSFETs, it is usually measured at the drain-source current of 250uA. Gate oxide thickness and doping concentration of the channel can be used to control the V .
Although the MOSFET is a four-terminal device with source (S), gate (G), drain (D), and body (B) terminals, the body (or substrate) of the MOSFET is often connected to the source terminal, making it a three-terminal device like other field-effect transistors.n the case of an n-type switch, the body is connected to the most negative supply (usually GND) and the gate is used as the switch control. Whenever the gate voltage exceeds the source voltage by at least a threshold voltage, the MOSFET conducts. The higher the voltage, the more the MOSFET can conduct.
