Which outcome occurs when a MOSFET controlled thermoelectric cooler experiences gate oxide breakdown?

💡 Explanation

Gate oxide breakdown causes a short circuit, creating a low resistance path. Current limiting ceases, therefore, leading to uncontrolled thermal runaway rather than consistent behavior, because the short dissipates energy as heat.
