The Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET)

JFET

• There are two basic configurations of junction field effect transistor, the N-channel JFET and the P-channel JFET.

• The N-channel JFET’s channel is doped with donor impurities meaning that the flow of current through the channel is negative (hence the term N-channel) in the form of electrons.

A small signal equivalent circuit of CS Amp.

Common Source Amplifier (CS)

• Signal ground or an ac earth is at the source through a bypass capacitor

• Not to disturb dc bias current & voltages coupling capacitors are used to pass the signal voltages to the input terminal of the amplifier or to the Load Resistance

• CS circuit is unilateral– Rin does not depend on RL and vice versa

The Common Source Amplifier with a Source Resistance

• The ‘T’ Model is preferred, whenever a resistance is connected to the source terminal.

• ro (output resistance due to Early Effect) is not included, as it would make the amplifier non unilateral

Voltage Gain : CS with RS

Common Source Configuration with Rs

• Rs causes a negative feedback thus improving the stability of drain current of the circuit but at the cost of voltage gain

• Rs reduces id by the factor

– (1+gmRs) = Amount of feedback

• Rs is called Source degeneration resistance as it reduces the gain

BICMOS

BICMOS -contd…

• Combining the high gain of BJT and infinite impedance of MOSFET will lead to BiCMOS differential amplifier design.

• Rs = typical 100 KW

• BICMOS cascode amplifier has overall voltage gain of C-S, but with frequency response comparable to CB Amplifier.

BICMOS -contd…

• The basic idea is to combine the high Rin and large transconductance (g m) of a commonsource (common-emitter) amplifier with the current-buffering property and superior high-frequency response of the common-gate (common-base) circuit

BICMOS -contd…

• In response to input signal voltage vi, the CS transistor Q1 conducts a current signal gm1 vi in its drain terminal and feeds it to the source of the CG transistor Q 2 (cascode transistor).

• Q 2 passes signal to its drain and to the load RL. Q 2 acts as a buffer, presenting low Rin to the drain of Q1 and providing high Rout at output.
