JFET Curve Tracer

2022-01-27
●Junction field-effect transistors (JFETs), unlike bipolar transistors, do not easily lend themselves to analytic solutions of bias networks. By their very nature, JFETs are voltage controlled devices. Gate to source voltage (control voltage VGS) variations of several volts can exist within a given part type at the same operating conditions, causing the problem. Multiple suppliers and inadequate, or non-existent, data sheet curves compound the problem further, requiring data from the suppliers or the use of a curve tracer.
●Figure 2 shows a simple curve tracer that can be used with any oscilloscope, and can be built using a quad op amp and a handful of parts. The circuit displays drain current versus gate voltage for both P and N-channel JFETs at a constant drain voltage.
