Uses of Jfet - Mathematical Model

Mathematical Model

The current in N-JFET due to a small voltage VDS is given by:

where

  • IDSS = drain-source saturation current
  • 2a = channel thickness
  • W = width
  • L = length
  • q = electronic charge = 1.6 x 10-19 C
  • μn = electron mobility
  • Nd = n type doping concentration

In the saturation region:

In the linear region

or (in terms of ):

where is the pinch off voltage, the minimum voltage across G-S to completely turn off conduction. When is small compared with -, the device acts like a voltage controlled resistor.

Famous quotes containing the words mathematical and/or model:

    The circumstances of human society are too complicated to be submitted to the rigour of mathematical calculation.
    Marquis De Custine (1790–1857)

    She represents the unavowed aspiration of the male human being, his potential infidelity—and infidelity of a very special kind, which would lead him to the opposite of his wife, to the “woman of wax” whom he could model at will, make and unmake in any way he wished, even unto death.
    Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)
