Graphical approach
First, according to Shockleys equation, we
can sketch out the transfer curve.
It is known that IDSS= 10mA and VP= -8V.
Three points are sufficient to plot the curve.
(0 , IDSS) (0, 10mA)
(VP, 0) (-8V, 0)
(VP /2, IDSS/4) (-4V, 2.5mA)

JFET: Self-Bias
Example 7.2:
As shown in the figure, it is the self biasing
configuration of n-channel JFET. This network
needs only one dc supply.
Determine:
VGSQ , IDQ , VDS , VD , VG and VS .
Solution:
This time, we only use graphical approach.

Depletion-Type MOSFET
Example 7.7:
As shown in the figure, it is the n-channel
depletion-type MOSFET configuration.
Determine:
VGSQ , IDQ , and VDS .
Solution:
For the n-channel depletion-type MOSFET,
VGS can be positive and ID can exceed IDSS.

Enhancement-Type MOSFET
Example 7.11 :
As shown in the figure, it is the n-channel
enhancement-type MOSFET feedback biasing
configuration.
Determine: VGSQ and IDQ.
Solution:
Due to the existence of VGS(Th), we need four
points to obtain the transfer curve.

The ID is defined by
ID = k (VGS VT)2
Solving for k, we obtain
I D ( on )

Then, Letting VGS = 6V, we get
ID = 0.2410-3 (VGS VT)2
= 0.2410-3 (6V 3V)2 = 2.16mA
