Semiconductor Devices: Junction Field Effect Transistors (JFETs)
Channel: Electronics with Professor Fiore
Date: 2020-04-19

The fundamental operational characteristics of JFETs are discussed. These devices operate on a different principle than bipolar junction transistors. Compared to BJTs they tend to have lower noise and distortion, are faster, and offer high input impedance in typical configurations. On the down side, they tend to produce lower voltage gain.
