Overdrive Voltage Formula Elements

Variables
Overdrive Voltage
Overdrive voltage is a term used in electronics and refers to the voltage level applied to a device or component that exceeds its normal operating voltage.
Symbol: Vov
Measurement: Electric PotentialUnit: V
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Drain Current
Drain current is the current that flows between the drain and the source terminals of a field-effect transistor (FET), which is a type of transistor commonly used in electronic circuits.
Symbol: id
Measurement: Electric CurrentUnit: mA
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Transconductance
Transconductance is defined as the ratio of the change in the output current to the change in the input voltage, with the gate-source voltage held constant.
Symbol: gm
Measurement: Electric ConductanceUnit: mS
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
