BJT constant-current sources were discussed extensively in Chapter 6 (Section 6-H). A JFET can be used to supply constant current

A solar cell is simply a large photodiode operated in its photovoltaic mode. In its most common application, it is used

Copper Losses As we know, all materials have electrical resistance, including the wire wrapped  the core of a transformer to form

A photo diode is a PN junction constructed so that it can be exposed to light. When reverse biased, it behaves

Common·Drain Amplifier Figure 8-17 shows a JFET connected as a common-drain amplifier. Note that the drain terminal is connected directly

Bifet is a coined term meaning a combination of bipolar and FET, and a bifet amplifier is one that contains both

Optoelectronic devices are those whose characteristics are changed or controlled by light or those that create andlor modify light. In recent

Figure 8-4 shows a common-source JFET amplifier with fixed bias Van. Ra is a large resistance connected in series with

THE COMMON-SOURCE JFET AMPLIFIER Like bipolar transistors, field-effect transistors can be connected as ac amplifiers to achieve voltage, power, and/or
