Referring to the graph below, why is it that when a Mosfet turns on, Vds does not decrease until the channel is supporting the full-load current? From my understanding, Vds should start decaying as soon as Vgs equals Vth of the Mosfet but that is not the case.

From the research that I have done, I found that this is at least partly due to the behavior of a diode (I am assuming that the diode being referred to here is the freewheeling diode of an clamped inductive load?), but that does not seem clear me at all.

Mainly, I am just trying to get a better understanding of how Mosfets works, particularly in relation to power supply design.



Edit: Forgot to add the graph.

 

I was able to find another thread on this forum regarding this topic and so I will refer to it. My mistake.

 

Which thread you are referring to?
(Your answer maybe useful for other members, after you answer the question and then this thread will be closed)

 

The thread that I am referring to is titled "Turn on/off behavior of MOSFET." Below is the link. I also noticed that I should probably post these types of questions not in this sub-forum, but rather in the General Electronics Chat forum. I'm learning!
