Question
Download Solution PDFConsider the following statements regarding JFET:
1. The relationship between the drain current and gate-to-source voltage of a JFET is a nonlinear.
2. The minimum current for JFET occurs at pinch-off voltage defined by VGS = VP.
3. A current controlled device is one in which a current defines the operating conditions of the device.
Which of the above statements are correct?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe relationship between the drain current and gate-to-source voltage defines as:
ID=IDSS(1-(VGS / Vp)2
where,
ID=drain current, IDSS=maximum saturation current, VGS=gate to source voltage, Vp=pinch of voltage
drain current, and gate-to-source voltage in JFET are nonlinearly related(option 1 is correct)
In the JFET transistor at VGS=Vp drain current is zero which is the minimum drain current . (option 2 is correct)
current control devices are the device in which input current control output current or voltage, in BJT transistor base current control collector and emitter current and BJT are known as a current control device.(option 3 incorrect)
Additional Information
The FET transistors are voltage-controlled devices whereas the BJT transistors are current-controlled devices. The FET transistors have three terminal drains, source, and gate which are equivalent to the collector, emitter, and base terminals in BJT transistors.
