TRANSISTORS
(FETs)
By: Engr. JANE S. AVILA, M.Sc.
OBJECTIVES
• Discuss the construction and operating
characteristics of Junction Field Effect (JFET), Metal-
Oxide Semiconductor FET (MOSFET), and Metal-
Semiconductor FET (MESFET) transistors.
• Sketch the transfer characteristics from the drain
characteristics of a JFET, MOSFET, and MESFET
transistor.
• Identify the meanings of information provided on
the specification sheet for each type of FET.
• Differentiate between the DC analysis of various
types of FETs.
INTRODUCTION
• Comparison of BJTs and FETs
BJT FET
Current-controlled device Voltage-controlled device
Types: pnp, npn Types: n-channel, p-channel
Bipolar device Unipolar device
INTRODUCTION
• Advantages of FETs over BJTs
o FETs has high input impedance.
o FETs are more temperature stable.
o FETs are usually smaller than BJTs making them useful in IC
chips.
