Given VDD = 25V, VP = -3V. When VGS = -3V, IDS = 10mA. Find the operating point of the circuit.(a) -3.83V, 0.766mA(b) -2.345V, 0.469mA(c) 3.83V, 0.469mA(d) 2.3V, 0.7mAThis question was addressed to me during an interview.I want to ask this question from Biasing of JFET and MOSFET topic in chapter FET Amplifiers of Analog Circuits |

Answer» RIGHT choice is (b) -2.345V, 0.469mA Easiest explanation: When VGS = VP then IDSS = IDS = 10mA Also, in above circuit, VGS = -IDSRS = – IDSx5k Thus, IDS = IDSS(1-VGS/VP)^2 Solving we get, IDS = 0.766mA, 0.469mA Thus we get VGS = -3.83V, -2.345V However, VGS should lie between 0 and VP. |
