FET ( Field Effect Transistor)
1. Unipolar device i. e. operation depends on only one type of charge carriers (h or e)
2 Voltage controlled Device (gate voltage controls drain
Few important advantages of FET over conventional Transistors
2. Voltage controlled Device (gate voltage controls drain current)
3. Very high input impedance (≈109-1012 Ω)4. Source and drain are interchangeable in most Low-frequency
applications5. Low Voltage Low Current Operation is possible (Low-power
consumption)6. Less Noisy as Compared to BJT7 No minority carrier storage (Turn off is faster) 7. No minority carrier storage (Turn off is faster) 8. Self limiting device9. Very small in size, occupies very small space in ICs10. Low voltage low current operation is possible in MOSFETS 11. Zero temperature drift of out put is possiblek

Circuit Layout and Analysis
Components and FunctionsGate resistor(R2) : In JFET amplifier gate resistor is used to maintain gate terminal is nearly about 0 V d.c (i.e gate terminal current is approximately zero) Gate resistor is in several mega current is approximately zero).Gate resistor is in several mega ohms value which prevents loading of the a.c signal sourceCoupling capacitor(C1) : In JFET amplifier coupling capacitor used as coupling devices to one stage to next stage and in input gate terminal in order to pass only input a.c signal and blocked d.cbiasing signal Bypass capacitor(Cs) : In JFET amplifier it is used with source yp p ( ) J presistor in parallel as shown in above figure.Which provides easy path for a.c signal to grounded which prevent voltage drop in source resistor and increase voltage gain

Procedure: Analysis of an FET amplifier at mid-frequency:
1) Find the DC Q-point. This will insure that the FET is operating in the saturation region and these values are needed for the next step.
2) Find gm. If gm is not specified, calculate it using the DC values of VGS as follows:
( )DSSD 2II V V (f JFET' d DM MOSFET' )∂
3) Calculate the required values (typically Avi, Avs, AI, AP, Zi, and Zo. Use the formulas for the appropriate amplifier configuration (CS, CG, CD, etc).

Figure: For vGS < Vto the pn junction between drain and body is reverse biased and iD=0.
19
Figure: For vGS >Vto a channel of n-type material is induced in the region under the gate. As vGS increases, the channel becomes thicker. For small values of vDS ,iD is proportional to vDS.
The device behaves as a resistor whose value depends on vGS.
Figure: As vDS increases, the channel pinches down at the drain end and iD increases more slowly. Finally for vDS> vGS -Vto, iD becomes constant.
