Symbol and representation D D Ss GS TO-92 Ss n-channel JFET Sb n-channel JFET JFET Construction ‘There are two types of JFET’s: n-channel and p-chennel.

The source of water pressure * accumulated electrons at the negative pole of the applied voltage from Drain to Source The drain of water * electron deficiency (or holes) at the positive pole of the applied voltage from Drain to Source. The control of flow of water * Gate voltage that controls the width of the n-channel, which in turn controls the flow of electrons in the n-channel from source to drain. SD dvi: JFET Operating Characteristics There are three basic operating conditions for a JFET: A. VGS = 0, VDS increasing to some positive value B. VGS < 0, VDS at some positive value C. Voltage-Controlled Resistor tpsstudylib neidoc!18826017/unit5—vtuse ia1129128, 759.AM study viewer A. VGS = 0, VDS increasing to some positive value Three things happen when VGS = 0 and VDS is increased from 0 to a more positive voltage: * The depletion region between p-gate and n-channel increases as electrons from n-channel combine with holes from p-gate. Increasing the depletion region, decreases the size of the n-channel which increases the resistance of the n-channel. + But even though the n-channel resistance is increasing, the current (ID) from Source to Drain Through the n-channel is increasing. This is because VDS is increasing. -ntpsufstudylb.netidoc/1882601 7uni-5 vise 4401129128, 759.AM study viewer Pinch off Saturation -ntpsufstudylb.netidoc/1882601 7uni-5 vise1129128, 759.AM study viewer At the pinch-off point: * any further increase in VGS does not produce any increase in ID. VGS at pinch-off is denoted as Vp. + ID is at saturation or maximum. It is referred to as IDSS. * The ohmic value of the channel is at maximum. B. VGS <0, VDS at some positive value ‘As VGS becomes more negative the depletion region increases. -ntpsufstudylb.netidoc/1882601 7uni-5 vise eia01129128, 759.AM study viewer Now Id < Idss As VGS becomes more negative: + the JFET will pinch-off at a lower voltage (Vp). + ID decreases (ID < IDSS) even though VDS is increased. + Eventually ID will reach 0A. VGS at this point is called Vp or VGS(oft). Also note that at high levels of VDS the JFET reaches a breakdown. situation. ID will increases uncontrollably if VDS > VDSmax C. Voltage-Controlled Resistor + The region to the left of the pinch-off point is called the ohmic region. + The JFET can be used as a variable resistor, where VGS controls the drain-source resistance (rd). + As VGS becomes more negative, the resistance (rd) increases. -ntpsufstudylb.netidoc/1882601 7uni-5 vise 7401129128, 759.AM study viewer Transfer Characteristics * The transfer characteristic of input-to-output is not as straight forward in a JFET as it was ina BJT. * InaBIT, f indicated the relationship between IB (input) and IC (output). + Ina JFET, the relationship of VGS (input) and ID (output) is a little more complicated: Current relation T, = Ines! 1- Comparison between BJT & FET -ntpsufstudylb.netidoc/1882601 7uni-5 vise sao1129128, 759.AM study viewer BJT 1.BJT controls large output(1.) by means of a relatively small base current.
