Enhancement Type MOSFET - Construction, Operation and Characteristics: Although DE-MOSFET is useful in special applications, it does not enjoy widespread use. However, it played an important role in history because…
Depletion Type MOSFET - Construction, Operation and Characteristics: As we know already that when the gate is biased negative w.r.t. the source in an N-channel JFET, the depletion-region widths are…
FET as a Voltage Variable Resistor (VVR): FET is a device that is usually operated in the constant-current portion of its output characteristics. But if it is operated in the…
Applications of FETs (Field Effect Transistors): Applications of FETs - FET has a very high input impedance (100 MΩ in case of JFETs and 104 to 109 MΩ in case of…
FET Biasing Methods - Fixed Bias, Self Bias, Potential Divider Bias and Current Source Bias: Unlike BJTs, thermal runaway does not occur with FETs. However, the wide differences in maximum…
Various Bias Compensation Methods: During the discussion made for various biasing methods for providing stability to the operating point we have seen that self bias (or potential divider bias) and…
Tuned Collector Oscillator - Definition, Working and Equation: The basic circuit of a tuned collector oscillator is shown in Fig. 21.7. It is called the tuned collector oscillator, because the…
What is Oscillator? - Types of Oscillators: An oscillator is the basic element of all ac signal sources and generates sinusoidal signals of known frequency and amplitude. It is one…
