Smart Field-Effect Transistor (fet)

System Description

System Description

A Smart Field-Effect Transistor (FET) is a transistor used to monitor and control current flow on module outputs. The IPDM E/R uses a Smart FET protection strategy to prevent module damage in the event of excessive current flow. The Smart FET protection strategy monitors its outputs for excessive current, and when a fault occurs, shuts down the output and records a DTC.

COMPONENT FUNCTION WITHIN SYSTEM

  • Smart FET turns the each lamps ON according to the request from BCM.

  • Smart FET turns the A/C compressor (magnetic clutch) ON according to the request from ECM.

INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT FUNCTION

Smart FET supplies power supply voltage to the each lamp and the A/C compressor (magnetic clutch).

COMPONENT OPERATION

Smart FET, that uses MOS field effect transistor, is adopted for each lamp and A/C compressor (magnetic clutch) control.

NOTE:

A MOS field effect transistor is a transistor in which the gate is composed of a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS). Field effect transistor is controlled by voltage, while ordinary transistor is controlled by current. Electrode of field effect transistor is called source, drain, or gate, while electrode of ordinary transistor is called emitter, collector, or base.
