The JFET (Junction Field Effect Transistor n-channel)

File:JFET MPF102 DataSheet.pdf

1.) Complete the table below for the JFET.

Characteristic	Symbol	Min	Max	Unit
Zero-Gate-Voltage Drain Current	[math] I_{DSS}[/math]	2.0	20	mAdc
Gate-Source Cutoff Voltage	[math]V_{GS(off)}[/math]	-	-8.0	Vdc
	[math]P_{max}[/math]
	[math]R_G[/math]	3.3 M[math]\Omega[/math]
	[math]R_D[/math]	1.0 M[math]\Omega[/math]
	[math]y_{fs}[/math]
	[math]y_{is}[/math]
	[math]y_{os}[/math]

2.) Construct the JFET circuit below.

3.) Plot measurements of [math]I_D[/math] -vs- [math]V_{DS}[/math] by varying [math]V_{dd}[/math] for [math]\left | V_{GS}\right |[/math] = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 V. (40 pnts)

I have used the following resistors:

[math]R_G = (3.34 \pm 0.02)\ M\Omega[/math]
[math]R_D = (0.968 \pm 0.002)\ k\Omega[/math]

Below is the table with my measurements of voltages [math]V_{DS}[/math] and [math]V_{R_D}[/math] and calculation of the current [math]I_D[/math]. Here I have used the meter to measure directly the voltage drop between the drain and source [math]V_{DS}[/math] and to measure the voltage drop on resistor [math]R_D[/math]. And my current [math]I_D = /frac{V_{R_D}}{R_D}[/math]

4.) Plot [math] I_D[/math] -vs- [math]V_{GS}[/math] (30 pnts)

5.) Calculate [math]y_{fs}[/math] for your JFET (20 pnts)

Question

1. Does [math]y_{fs}[/math] depend on[math] I_D[/math]? (10 pnts)
