Short description: fast-recovery epitaxial diode field-effect transistor
A FREDFET (sometimes, FredFET) is a fast-reverse or fast-recovery epitaxial diode field-effect transistor. This specialised field-effect transistor is designed to provide a very fast recovery (turn-off) of the body diode, making it convenient for driving inductive loads such as electric motors, especially medium-powered brushless DC motors.
