Smart FET
 
 
COMPONENT FUNCTION WITHIN SYSTEM
  • Smart FET turns the each lamps ON according to the request from BCM.
  • Smart FET turns the A/C compressor (magnetic clutch) ON according to the request from ECM.
 
 
INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT FUNCTION
Smart FET supplies power supply voltage to the each lamps and A/C compressor (magnetic clutch).
 
 
COMPONENT OPERATION
Smart FET, that uses MOS field effect transistor, is adopted for each lamps and A/C compressor (magnetic clutch) control.
noteA MOS field effect transistor is a transistor in which the gate is composed of a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS). Field effect transistor is controlled by voltage, while ordinary transistor is controlled by current. Electrode of field effect transistor is called source, drain, or gate, while electrode of ordinary transistor is called emitter, collector, or base.
