Exam 11: JFETS

A graph of drain current versus voltage gate to source is called

In the schematic symbol for a p-channel JFET,the gate arrow points out.

The source and drain terminals are

The supply voltage (V_DD )for a JFET forces free electrons to flow from the drain to the source.

What is a circuit that steers one or more of the input signals to the output line?

In audio applications,JFETs are often used as

A JFET analog switch operates either in the ohmic region or in the cutoff region.

The JFET is a voltage-controlled device because an input voltage controls an output current.

Since the field-effect transistor depends on only one type of charge,it is referred to as _________.

What is the type of JFET circuit that has the ac signal coupled to the gate and the output taken from the drain?

The term field effect is related to the depletion layers around each p region of a JFET.

The current drain to source with a shorted gate (I_DSS )is the maximum drain current a JFET can produce.

The almost-vertical part of the drain curve below pinchoff is called the

A stage that isolates the preceding stage from the following stage is called a

A JFET chopper can be used to build a dc amplifier.

A slow shift in the final dc output voltage produced by minor changes in supply voltage,transistor parameters,and temperature variations is referred to as _________.

Circuits that amplify frequencies down to 0 Hz are called

Because of the large spread in JFET parameters,which method of biasing cannot be used?

Self-biasing a JFET is used only with

The JFET source follower has
