The symbol of an NMOS is shown in Figure 2-1. The source and the drain of an NMOS are interchangeable. The terminal with the lowest voltage is considered to be the source. The resistance between the drain and the source depends on the voltage difference between the gate and the source (VGS). When there is sufficient voltage applied to the gate with respect to the source, the switch becomes conductive, and a voltage signal applied to the drain passes through this switch without distortion. The gate-to-source voltage at which the NMOS begins conduction is known as the threshold voltage (VT). If the gate-to-source voltage becomes significantly less than the threshold voltage of the NMOS (VT), the channel resistance increases rapidly.
