When do you use Mosfets, when do you use transistors?

Wow! That's about an open ended question! With about a billion answers!!!Quote:

Generally speaking (very very generally speaking) - Both are good in many situations, MOSFETs work better as switches (On or Off), Transistors work better as amplifiers (not quite on, not quite off, totally on, totally off, somewhere in-between).
I just found out that mosfets are also transistors(metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors). So to transfer digital signals you should use this kind of transistor. Are mosfets connected the same way like normal transistors? Why should you use mosfets only in push-pull circuits, what are parasitical capacities in this context?
Can you show me an emitter follower circuit using a mosfet?
I'd bet anything that Google could...Quote:

How about that...
So you cannot answer the questions. What a pity I thought you were intelligent. Well, I was wrong.
Hi, [no]Sel[/no] ... Euh, sorry, ... Security
The main reason for using Mosfets is when you can't have ( or don't want ) current to drive the device ... but that is limited to slow frequency switching.
Other reason is their short switching time.
a further one is their low Rds ON ... compared to Vce sat.
On the other side ... you have to drive the parasitic gate to source capacitance, which is about 1.5 nF for power devices : not good for high frequency switching, induce the use of Mosfet Drivers.
AND do not forget the reverse diode ... that can be a problem.

And $20 says after you do a bit of searching, you'll be a little more intelligent also.
