Like diode and BJT having around 0.6V drop, is there any voltage drop across the MOSFET drain and source when the MOSFET is turned on? In the datasheet, they mention diode forward voltage drop, but I assume that it for the body diode only.
Answer
The MOSFET behaves like a resistor when switched ON (i.e. when Vgs is large enough; check the data sheet). Look in the data sheet for the value of this resistor. It's called Rds(on). It may be a very small resistance, much less than an Ohm. Once you know the resistance, you can calculate the voltage drop, based on the current flowing.
