Recently, I needed a low-power circuit for one of my battery-operated projects. -Much of the system’s power savings depended on its ability to switch off power -to components, such as servos, electronically when not needed. That’s how I -stumbled upon MOSFETs, transistors capable of controlling circuits operating at -voltages far above their own.

+Much of the system’s power savings depended on its ability to electronically +switch off components, such as servos, that draw high levels of quiescent +currents. My search for a solution led me to MOSFETs, transistors capable of +controlling circuits operating at voltages far above their own.
