Why mosfet is not removed from the circuit when the supply is on?

it can exchange the current is much larger and has Avery low resistance when it is turned on.the mosfet is not removed from the circuit when the supply is on because it flow the high current.


Advantages and disadvantages of depletion MOSFET?

Since the logic operations of depletion MOSFET is the opposite to the enhancement MOSFET, the depletion MOSFET produces positive logic circuits, such as, buffer, AND, and OR. The most significant advantage of the positive logic circuits is that it can produce positive feedback easily so that a single depletion MOSFET can become a memory cell. In contrast, you will need at least two enhancement MOSFET transistor to produce the positive feedback to build a memory cell. The other advantages of depletion MOSFET are that it is free from sub-threshold leakage current and gate-oxide leakage current. Since there is always a potential difference of Vdd between the gate terminal and channel for an enhancement MOSFET to cause the gate-oxide leakage current, the gate oxide leakage current is unavoidable when the transistor shrinks in size and oxide layer becomes thinner. The depletion MOSFET does not have this problem because there is no potential difference between the gate and channel. As a enhancement MOSFET shrinking in size, there is no way to stop the subthreshold leakage current diffused across from source to drain because the drain and source terminals are closer physically. This is not a problem for depletion MOSFET because a pinched channel will stop the diffusion current completely. The depletion MOSFET is the ideal, perfect transistor. The only disadvantage of depletion MOSFET is its inability to produce negative logic operations.


The value of gate voltage for the operation of enhancement of only N channel MOSFET has to be high positive?

yes.


Can you replace mosfet with an bjt transistor?

A MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor) can be used INSTEAD of a BJT (bypolar junction transistor, so transistor is redundant in your question), if the circuit in question is modified to allow it and the MOSFET is chosen appropriately. BJT's will usually have a higher intrinsic gain, but have lower input resistance. Also a BJT in general will work better at higher frequencies than a MOSFET (unless you choose a high frequency MOSFET) due to the capacitive nature of MOSFETs.

What is depletion mosfet?

A depletion mode MOSFET is a FET that is on with no gate bias, and requires a negative bias (with respect to the source) to stop conducting. The channel is normally conductive and with a negative gate bias the channel becomes "depleted" of charge carriers, hence the name depletion mode MOSFET. This is contrary to enhancement type MOSFET's that are non conductive with zero volts gate bias and become conductive when there is a positive bias on their gate.


Why mosfet is called mosfet?

MOSFET is an acronym standing for Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor.


Can depletion mosfet act as enhancement mosfet?

It depends. A depletion MOSFET can be used as an ehancemnet MOSFET when it is operated as an analog amplifier. However, a depletion MOSFET can't replace an enhancement MOSFET when it is operated as a digital switch. When a depletion MOSFET is used as a digital switch, since the junction between source terminal and substrate must be reverse biased, the voltage of the source terminal of an N typde transistor must be tied to Vdd, and it is completely opposite to an enhancement MOSFET. When a depletion MOSFET is used as an analog amplifer, the source terminal and the substrate are both at the same potential, just like an enhancement MOSFET.

Why is a cascode current mirror better than a simple MOSFET current mirror?

In simple MOSFET current mirror, the load current does not follow a linear relationship with reference current (ie for short channel MOSFET's multiplying factor due to channel length modulation cannot be neglected). But by cascoding the output resistance can be increased and since output resistance follows an inverse relationship with lambda (channel-length modulation parameter), the multiplying factor due to channel length modulation reduces to one and a linear relationship is obtained between reference and load current.


The dc input resistance of MOSFET is?

it depends on the type of the circuit you are analyzing..it could be a voltage divider, emitter follower, be specific on what type of circuit and maybe i can help you aobut this question.
