Question

1-4

The 2N5486 JFET has the following maximum ratings: gmO = 8000 mu s and VGS(eff) = -6 Volts. Using these values, determine the values of gm at Vgs = -2 Volts and Vgs = -4 Volts. For a JFET amplifier you need to determine the maximum and minimum values of the amplifier voltage gain Ay . Assume that we are using 2N 5459 that has values of gmo = 6000 ps at VG$( f) = -8 Volts and gwo = 2000 ps at = -2 Volts. The values of Rd and Rl are 8.2 KO and 100 KO respectively. A JFET has parameters of Vgs(

Explanation / Answer

1) gm = gm0 (1-(vgs/vp))

    when vgs = -2;

     gm = 8*10^-3 * (1-2/6)

           = 5.33*10^-3

    when vgs =-4V

   gm = 8*10^-3 * (1-4/6)

          = 2.67*10^-3
