In a depletion-mode MOSFET, the device is normally on at zero gate–source voltage. Such devices are used as load "resistors" in logic circuits (in depletion-load NMOS logic, for example). For N-type depletion-load devices, the threshold voltage might be about −3 V, so it could be turned off by pulling the gate 3 V negative (the drain, by ...
Even more electrons attract towards the gate at higher V GS, which widens the channel. The reverse is true for the p-channel "enhancement-mode" MOS transistor. When V GS = 0 the device is “OFF” and the channel is open / non-conducting. The application of a negative gate voltage to the p-type "enhancement-mode" MOSFET enhances the channels ...

When V GS > V th and V DS < V GS − V th: The transistor is turned on, and a channel has been created which allows current between the drain and the source. The MOSFET operates like a resistor, controlled by the gate voltage relative to both the source and drain voltages. The current from drain to source is modeled as:
Overdrive voltage, usually abbreviated as V OV, is typically referred to in the context of MOSFET transistors.The overdrive voltage is defined as the voltage between transistor gate and source (V GS) in excess of the threshold voltage (V TH) where V TH is defined as the minimum voltage required between gate and source to turn the transistor on (allow it to conduct electricity).
For values of V GS near zero, the drain-to-source voltage linearization voltage or triode breakpoint is much higher than when V GS levels are near the pinch-off voltage. This means in order to maintain constant resistor behavior for different values of V GS, the maximal linearization value would be set according to the highest value of V GS used.
The gate driver then adds its own supply voltage to the MOSFET output voltage when driving the high-side MOSFETs to achieve a V GS equal to the gate driver supply voltage. [8] Because the low-side V GS is the gate driver supply voltage, this results in very similar V GS values for high-side and low-side MOSFETs.
