Books or Resources Like '110 Thyristor Projects' for MOSFET Circuits and Projects?

Hi - Invaluable little books like '110 Thyristor Projects' and 'abc of Unijunction Transastors' and the many Babani Books  seem to have stopped being published before the era of MOSFETs.
I don't want to spend the next hundred years in front of Youtube videos with twinkly music and no explanation, so I've googled extensively for books similar to the above, but on MOSFETs, without any luck. I'm not that interested in the atomic detail, just a  wide variety of basic circuits that are adaptable.
Does anyone..... etc etc?Thank-you,  Graham.

Graham,
You are right, it's amazingly difficult to find project information for MOSFETs that's NOT a YouTube Video.

Here's a couple of tutorials on how to use a MOSFET as a switch and as an amplifier to help get you started.

Hi Graham-The biggest difference between MOSFETS and bipolar transistors is that bipolar transistors are current-controlled devices and MOSFETS are voltage-controlled devices.  An N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET behaves much the same an an NPN  transistor would except the gate (base) current will be very low, and the gate voltage will be higher than for a bipolar transistor.  Bipolar     | MOSFET
Emitter   = Source
   Base        = Gate
Collector = Drain

Elizabeth - thanks for those  I'll have to build up my own collection, I guess...
Rick ...and 2u2.
With a + voltage on the gate, will the source-drain conduct in either direction? From the diagrams, there's nothing stopping that?
You could put a diode in the way if you didn't want it to. Do any come with that built in?Cheers,

@graham: "With a + voltage on the gate, will the source-drain conduct in either direction? From the diagrams, there's nothing stopping that?"I'm impressed.  You've been studying. Yes- they will conduct in both directions, BUT- most have an inherent (and often unwanted) "body diode" that conducts when current is flowing in the reverse direction regardless of what the gate is doing.Also note that although the MOSFET is a voltage-controlled device, and the gate draws no current when the device is turned on, you'll see gate driver chips rated 1, 2, 4 amps or more. The reason for this is that the gate has a lot of capacitance, especially in the devices with larger chunks of silicon in them. If you need to turn them on and off very quickly you need a lot of current while the gate is being charged and discharged.If you're still working on the project that will be discharging a capacitor into a coil you won't need to worry too much about the capacitance.  -Rick   

Hi Graham...as I mentioned in a previous post I have "110 Thyristor Projects" and I have a bunch of the Babani books around somewhere too.  They - and others - were very good for learning the basics.This indicates that you're an old timer like me, I also prefer books to messing around in Google.  But you have to get used to it these days.  Try Googling "xxx thtorials" when you want to find out about something and you will usually get hundreds of resources....but usually in the first 5 will be something good.  In this case, "Mosfet tutorials" gets the first onehttps://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/transistor/tran_6.html
Which is actually one before Elizabeth's suggestion above.  BTW the Electronics Tutorials site is a good one to go to if you don't want to wade through Google results (and You Tube stuff), they usually deliver the goods.Data sheets are a good next step - once you have the basics then the curves and figures in Data Sheets can be very edifying.Good luck in your searches - good, easy to digest information is hard to come by.

Ok, thank-you all.Yes, I'm still doing the cap(s) discharging thing, but I've already half gone on to something else.
Pity you can't regulate ideas like a sweet machine, one at a time!PS: "old-timer"? How dare you? I'm as er youthful as ever. It's not my fault if external time has sped up!

Yes, an "on" MOSFET will conduct in both directions. Look up the Texas Instruments CD4053 triple analog mux/demux for a small-signal example. The CD4053 includes digital logic driving three analog switches.

Most of us designing low-frequency or low-speed high-impedance circuits think of bipolar transistors as base-current-controlled devices where the base-to-emitter voltage is a nuisance side effect. The exceptions are logarithm/antilogarithm circuits, where the base-to-emitter voltage is central, and the base current is a side effect.
Those of us designing high-frequency or wideband or high-speed low-impedance (say 50-ohm) circuits think of bipolar transistors as base-voltage-controlled devices where the base current is a nuisance side effect.To those of us used to FETs or MOSFETs or vacuum tubes, the transconductance of a bipolar transistor at the same drain or plate or collector current is impressive.

The ARRL Handbook has good sections on basic electronics and devices, written from an RF and amateur-radio perspective.

Graham: "PS: "old-timer"? How dare you?..."Mate, anyone who remembers Babani books is no spring chicken...  

GrahamSiliconix had quite a few good app notes in the early days. I do have the data book scanned. I have copied it to Dropbox and I will send you the link via a personal message. You may need to register with Dropbox to get it. Let me know when you get hold of it so I can recover the storage space.Section 6 is what you want.

I have also uploaded an International Rectfier data book with app notes

The "The Art of Electronics", section 3.5 in the 3rd edition has some useful information on power MOSFETS as well, including a short section on what to watch out for in data sheets (what's not said),cheers,Richard

Yes, you are right.
