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:
“What is history? Its beginning is that of the centuries of systematic work devoted to the solution of the enigma of death, so that death itself may eventually be overcome. That is why people write symphonies, and why they discover mathematical infinity and electromagnetic waves.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“If the man who paints only the tree, or flower, or other surface he sees before him were an artist, the king of artists would be the photographer. It is for the artist to do something beyond this: in portrait painting to put on canvas something more than the face the model wears for that one day; to paint the man, in short, as well as his features.”
—James Mcneill Whistler (1834–1903)
