Following Shockley's theoretical treatment on JFET in 1952, a working practical JFET was made in 1953 by George C. Dacey and Ian M. Ross. [4] Japanese engineers Jun-ichi Nishizawa and Y. Watanabe applied for a patent for a similar device in 1950 termed static induction transistor (SIT). The SIT is a type of JFET with a short channel. [4]
The JFET (junction field-effect transistor) uses a reverse biased p–n junction to separate the gate from the body. The static induction transistor (SIT) is a type of JFET with a short channel. The DEPFET is a FET formed in a fully depleted substrate and acts as a sensor, amplifier and memory node at the same time.
It consists of an n-channel JFET with the gate shorted to the source, which functions like a two-terminal current limiter (analogous to a voltage-limiting Zener diode). It allows a current through it to rise to a certain value, but not higher.
A JFET can be made to act as a current source by tying its gate to its source. The current then flowing is the I DSS of the FET. These can be purchased with this connection already made and in this case the devices are called current regulator diodes or constant current diodes or current limiting diodes (CLD).
The invention of the high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) is usually attributed to physicist Takashi Mimura (三村 高志), while working at Fujitsu in Japan. [4] The basis for the HEMT was the GaAs (gallium arsenide) MOSFET (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor), which Mimura had been researching as an alternative to the standard silicon (Si) MOSFET since 1977.
Complementary JFET duals are also noted for their low equivalent noise voltage, high operating voltage, thermal tracking characteristics, low offset voltage, low pinch-off voltages, low input bias currents, and very high input impedance. All of these characteristics make these devices ideal for use in high performance audio, sensor and ...
In the circuit on the figure, a non-linearized VCR design, the voltage-controlled resistor, the LSK489C JFET, is used as a programmable voltage divider. The VGS supply sets the level of the output resistance of the JFET. The drain-to-source resistance of the JFET (R DS) and the drain resistor (R 1) form the voltage-divider network. The output ...
The JFET is externally-powered by the DC voltage V + through a resistor which sets the gain and output impedance. The output audio signal is received though a DC blocking capacitor . An electret microphone is a microphone whose diaphragm forms a capacitor (historically-termed a condenser ) that incorporates an electret .
