Best Answer

JFET = junction field-effect transistor. The transistor design is to restrict/control the current in the channel by expanding or contracting the depletion region, hence the channel cross-section, with a gate signal. The gate is the junction in JFET, compared with using oxide in an MOSFET.

How jfet works?

A Jfet works by applying voltage to the drain of the jfet. A jfet will then conduct across from drain to source.


What are the applications of jfet?

• High Input Impedance Amplifier. • Low-Noise Amplifier. • Differential Amplifier. • Constant Current Source. • Analog Switch or Gate. • Voltage Controlled Resistor. • JFET as a Switch • JFET as a Chopper • JFET as a Current source • JFET as a Amplifier • JFET as a Buffer

What is the difference between jfet and mosfet?

1-BJT is bipolar while JFET is unipolar. 2-BJT has low input impedence while JFET has high input impedence. 3-JFET has low power discipation as compared to BJT. 4-JFET has low noise as compared to BJT. 5-BJT is current controlled while JFET is voltage controlled. 6-JFET is mostly used in digital circuits.


What is the difference between fet and ujt?

The structure of a UJT is quite similar to that of an N-channel JFET. The main difference is that P-type (gate) material surrounds the N-type (channel) material in case of JFET and the gate surface of the JFET is much larger than emitter junction of UJT.
