JFET Unipolar device (one polarity of charge carrier – no minority carriers) High input impedance Source and drain are interchangeable in most low-frequency applications Two diodes: gate-source and gate-drain For normal operation the gate-source diode is reverse-biased

Drain curves With V GS = 0 the drain current is maximum at I DSS V P = the pinchoff voltage When V DS = V P the depletion layers almost touch With V DS > V P the JFET acts as a current source V GS(off) = -V P (Turns the JFET off)

10 Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Ohmic region V P separates the active region from the ohmic region. The ohmic region is the almost vertical part of the drain curve. In this region, a JFET acts as a resistor. R DS = V P /I DSS

The transconductance curve A graph of drain current versus gate- source voltage I D increases more rapidly as V GS approaches zero The normalized curve shows that I D equals one-quarter of maximum when V GS equals half of cutoff

16 Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Biasing in the active region Self-bias is used only with small-signal amplifiers because the Q point is unstable VDB can setup a stable Q point Two-source bias can swamp out variations in V GS and set up a stable Q point When supply voltages are low, current- source bias can produce a stable Q point

Transconductance Tells how effective the gate voltage is in controlling the drain current. g m = i d /v gs Common units for JFETs are the micromho (  mho) or the more modern microsiemen (  S). g m is the slope of the transconductance curve. g m0 is the maximum value and occurs at V GS = 0.

Works well for ac signals of 200 mV PP or less. Small-signal resistance: r ds = V DS /I D As V GS becomes more negative, r ds increases. Both series and shunt operation can be used.
