    Huh? Is this an outboard question? I know just about enough about Field Effect Transistors to make me go dig out my old textbooks. Until then, I think D means Drain (output), and G means Gate. Maybe S means Source??? Subject to correction

    And P and N equate to PNP and NPN transistors. Somebody once said education is what you have left after you’ve forgotten everything you’ve learned. That describes me in this case.
