  • Rise time (tr)
    It is the time when drain-source voltage varies from 90% to 10%.
  • Turn-on time (ton)
    It is the time between the instant when gate-source voltage rises to 10% and the instant when drain-source voltage falls to 10%.
  • Fall time (tf)
    It is the time when drain-source voltage varies from 10% to 90%.
  • Turn-off time (toff)
    It is the time between the instant when gate-source voltage falls to 90% and the instance when drain-source voltage rises to 90%.
