Definition of "Drain" |
One of the three terminals that comprise a FET. A voltage on the gate controls the current flow between the source and drain. / A region of a FET into which majority carriers flow from the channel. One of three terminals on a Field Effect Transistor. / terminal of an FET (usually identical in structure to the source) to which electrons flow. Electrons in the FET channel flow down the drain, and current flow is defined as the negative direction of electron movement, since electrons are negative. In p-channel FETs, current flows from source to drain. In n-channel FETs, current flows from drain to source. The drain is usually considered to be the metal contact at the surface of the die. |
