Field Effect Transistors: Dr. Naser Qamhieh UAEU / Department of Physics 1

This document discusses field effect transistors (FETs) and junction FETs (JFETs) in particular. It aims to study the relationship between input and output parameters of JFETs through their transfer curve. The transfer curve plots drain current (ID) versus gate-source voltage (VGS) and shows that ID is at its maximum (IDSS) when VGS is 0 and is 0 when VGS reaches the pinch-off voltage (VGS(off)). The document also examines JFET biasing techniques like self-biasing and includes graphs of transfer characteristics and the analysis of a self-biased JFET.

JFET Transfer Characteristics
The transfer curve is the relation
between ID abd VGS .
ID = 0 when VGS = VGS(off)
I = IDSS when VGS = 0

JFET Forward Transconductance

gm = ID/VGS

gm = gm0 (1- {VGS/VGS(off })

Where gmo is at VGS =0

gmo = 2IDSS / |VGS(off)|

VGS = VG - VS
VGS = VG – VS
VS = - ID RS
VS = ID RS
VGS = + ID RS
VGS = - ID RS

VD and VDS can


be calculated
