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 .
For an n-channel MOSFET, the device operates in the first quadrant when a positive voltage is applied to the drain, as shown in figure 2. As the gate voltage (VG) increases above the threshold voltage (VTH), the MOSFET channel begins to conduct current. The amount of current it conducts depends on the on-resistance of the MOSFET, as defined by
