MODULE-1 INTRODUCTION TO Transistors
•The word transistor consists of two terms TRANSFER AND RESISTOR.It
is the electronic device that transfer the input signal from one
resistance circuit to other resistance circuit.They are unidirectional
current carrying devices with capability to control the current flowing
through them
• The switch current can be controlled by either current or voltage
•There are mainly two types of transistor
1. Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJT) control current by current
2. Field Effect Transistors (FET) control current by voltage
•They can be used either as switches or as amplifiers.
•Bipolar junction Transistor is a three terminal,two junaction device.
•A junction Transistor is simply a sandwitch of one type of
semiconductor material between two layers of other type. Acoordingly
there are two type of transistors:
1. N-P-N Transistor
2. P-N-P Transistors
The BJT – Bipolar Junction Transistor
Note: Normally Emitter layer is heavily doped, Base layer is lightly doped and
Collector layer has Moderate doping.

Note:  and  are sometimes referred to as dc and dc
because the relationships being dealt with in the BJT
are DC.

BJT  and 
•From the previous figure iE = iB + iC
•Define  = iC / iE
•Define  = iC / iB
•Then  = iC / (iE –iC) =  /(1- )
•Then iC =  iE ; iB = (1-) iE
•Typically   100 for small signal BJTs (BJTs that
handle low power) operating in active region (region
where BJTs work as amplifiers)
•Note:  and  are sometimes referred to as dc and dc
because the relationships being dealt with in the BJT are DC
Various Regions (Modes) of Operation of BJT
• Most important mode of operation
• Central to amplifier operation
• The region where current curves are practically flat
Active:
Saturation: • Barrier potential of the junctions cancel each other out
causing a virtual short (behaves as on state Switch)
Cutoff: • Current reduced to zero
• Ideal transistor behaves like an open switch
* Note: There is also a mode of operation called
inverse active mode, but it is rarely used.
Three Possible Configurations of BJT
Biasing the transistor refers to applying voltages to the
transistor to achieve certain operating conditions.
1. Common-Base Configuration (CB) : input = VEB & IE
output = VCB & IC
2. Common-Emitter Configuration (CE): input = VBE & IB
output= VCE & IC
3. Common-Collector Configuration (CC) :input = VBC & IB
(Also known as Emitter follower) output = VEC & IE

The basic function of transistor is amplification. The process of raising the
strength of weak signal without any change in its general shape is
referred as faithful amplification. For faithful amplification it is essential
that:-
1. Emitter-Base junction is forward biased
2. Collector- Base junction is reversed biased
3. Proper zero signal collector current
The proper flow of zero signal collector current and the maintenance of
proper collector emitter voltage during the passage of signal is
called transistor biasing.
WHY BIASING?
If the transistor is not biased properly, it would work inefficiently
and produce distortion in output signal.
HOW A TRANSISTOR CAN BE BIASED?
A transistor is biased either with the help of battery or associating a
circuit with the transistor. The later method is more efficient and is
frequently used. The circuit used for transistor biasing is called the
biasing circuit.

 Potential Divider Bias Circuit
BJT ‘Q’ Point (Bias Point)
• Q point means Quiescent or Operating point
• Very important for amplifiers because wrong ‘Q’ point selection increases
amplifier distortion
• Need to have a stable ‘Q’ point, meaning the the operating point should not be
sensitive to variation to temperature or BJT , which can vary widely

Applying KVL for this part, we get:
Thus, the base current can be obtained as:
Fig. 1
 The dc load line is a graph that allows us to determine all possible
combinations of IC and VCE for a given amplifier.
 For every value of collector current, IC, the corresponding value of VCE
can be found by examining the dc load line.
 A sample dc load line is shown in Fig. 1.
Without an ac signal applied to a transistor, specific values of IC and VCE exist at a
specific point on a dc load line This specific point is called the Q point (quiescent
currents and voltages with no ac input signal)
An amplifier is biased such that the Q point is near the center of dc load line
ICQ = ½ IC(sat)
VCEQ = ½ VCC
Base bias provides a very unstable Q point, because IC and VCE are greatly affected by
any change in the transistor’s beta value
21
BIAS STABILITY
 Through proper biasing, a desired quiescent operating point of the
transistor amplifier in the active region (linear region) of the
characteristics is obtained. It is desired that once selected the operating
point should remain stable.
The maintenance of operating point stable is called Stabilisation.
 The selection of a proper quiescent point generally depends on the
following factors:
(a) The amplitude of the signal to be handled by the amplifier and
distortion level in signal
(b) The load to which the amplifier is to work for a corresponding
supply voltage
 The operating point of a transistor amplifier shifts mainly with changes
in temperature, since the transistor parameters — β, ICO and VBE (where
the symbols carry their usual meaning)—are functions of temperature.

JFET is a unipolar-transistor, which acts as a voltage
controlled current device and is a device in which current
at two electrodes is controlled by the action of an
electric field at a reversed biased p-n junction.
MOSFET Field effect transistor is a unipolar transistor,
which acts as a voltage-controlled current device and is a
device in which current at two electrodes drain and
source is controlled by the action of an electric field at
another electrode gate having in-between semiconductor
and metal very a thin metal oxide layer .
.
Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) A junction field effect
transistor is a three terminal semiconductor device in which current
conduction is by one type of carrier i.e., electrons or holes.
In a JFET, the current conduction is either by electrons or holes and
is controlled by means of an electric field between the gate
electrode and the conducting channel of the device.
The JFET has high input impedance and low noise level.
A JFET consists of a p-type or n-type silicon bar containing two pn
junctions at the sides .
The bar forms the conducting channel for the charge carriers. If the
bar is of n-type, it is called n-channel JFET and if the bar is of p-
type, it is called a p-channel JFET.
The two pn junctions forming diodes are connected *internally and a
common terminal called gate is taken out. Other terminals are
source and drain taken out from the bar as shown. Thus a JFET has
essentially three terminals viz., gate (G), source (S) and drain (D
 Principle. The two pn junctions at the sides form two depletion
layers. The current conduction by charge carriers (i.e. free
electrons in this case) is through the channel between the two
depletion layers and out of the drain.
 The width and hence *resistance of this channel can be controlled
by changing the input voltage VGS.
 The greater the reverse voltage VGS, the wider will be the
depletion layers and narrower will be the conducting channel. The
narrower channel means greater resistance and hence source to
drain current decreases.
 Reverse will happen should VGS decrease. Thus JFET operates on
the principle that width and hence resistance of the conducting
channel can be varied by changing the reverse voltage VGS. In
other words, the magnitude of drain current (ID) can be changed
by altering VGS. Working.
The working of JFET is as under : (i) When a voltage VDS is applied
between drain and source terminals and voltage on the gate is zero
.the two pn junctions at the sides of the bar establish depletion
layers. The electrons will flow from source to drain through a
channel between the depletion layers. The size of these layers
determines the width of the channel and hence the current
conduction through the bar.
(ii) When a reverse voltage VGS is applied between the gate and
source .the width of the depletion layers is increased. This
reduces the width of conducting channel, thereby increasing the
resistance of n-type bar. Consequently, the current from source to
drain is decreased. On the other hand, if the reverse voltage on the
gate is decreased, the width of the depletion layers also decreases.
This increases the width of the conducting channel and hence
source to drain current.
Difference Between JFET and Bipolar Transistor
The JFET differs from an ordinary or bipolar transistor in the
following ways :
(i) In a JFET, there is only one type of carrier, holes in p-type
channel and electrons in n-type channel. For this reason, it is
also called a unipolar transistor. However, in an ordinary
transistor, both holes and electrons play part in conduction.
Therefore, an ordinary transistor is sometimes called a bipolar
transistor.
(ii) As the input circuit (i.e., gate to source) of a JFET is reverse
biased, therefore, the device has high input impedance.
However, the input circuit of an ordinary transistor is forward
biased and hence has low input impedance.
(iii) The primary functional difference between the JFET and the
BJT is that no current (actually, a very, very small current)
enters the gate of JFET (i.e. IG = 0A). However, typical BJT
base current might be a few μA while JFET gate current a
thousand times smaller
(iv) A bipolar transistor uses a current into its base to control a large
current between collector and emitter whereas a JFET uses voltage on the
‘gate’ ( = base) terminal to control the current between drain (= collector)
and source ( = emitter). Thus a bipolar transistor gain is characterised by
current gain whereas the JFET gain is characterised as a transconductance
i.e., the ratio of change in output current (drain current) to the input (gate)
voltage.
(v) In JFET, there are no junctions as in an ordinary transistor. The
conduction is through an n- type or p-type semi-conductor material. For this
reason, noise level in JFET is very small.
Important Terms
In the analysis of a JFET circuit, the following important terms are often
used :
1. Shorted-gate drain current (IDSS)
2. Pinch off voltage (VP)
3. Gate-source cut off voltage [VGS (off)]
1. Shorted-gate drain current (IDSS). It is the drain current with source
short-circuited to gate (i.e. VGS = 0) and drain voltage (VDS) equal to
pinch off voltage. It is sometimes called zero-bias current.
2. JFET circuit with VGS = 0 i.e., source shorted-circuited to gate. This is
normally called shorted-gate condition.
2. Pinch off Voltage (VP). It is the minimum drain-source voltage at which
the drain current essentially becomes constant.
Gate-source cut off voltage VGS (off). It is the gate-source voltage where
the channel is completely cut off and the drain current becomes zero.
Expression for Drain Current (ID)
Parameters of JFET
Like vacuum tubes, a JFET has certain parameters which determine its
performance in a circuit. The
main parameters of a JFET are (i) a.c. drain resistance (ii) transconductance
(iii) amplification factor.
(i) a.c. drain resistance (rd). Corresponding to the a.c. plate resistance,
we have a.c. drain resistance in a JFET. It may be defined as follows :

Metal Oxide Semiconductor FET (MOSFET)
The main drawback of JFET is that its gate must be reverse biased
for proper operation of the device i.e. it can only have negative gate
operation for n-channel and positive gate operation for p-channel.
This means that we can only decrease the width of the channel (i.e.
decrease the *conductivity of the channel) from its zero-bias size.
This type of operation is referred to as **depletion-mode operation.
Therefore, a JFET can only be operated in the depletion-mode.
However, there is a field effect transistor (FET) that can be
operated to enhance (or increase) the width of the channel (with
consequent increase in conductivity of the channel) i.e. it can have
enhancement-mode operation. Such a FET is called MOSFET.
A field effect transistor (FET) that can be operated in the
enhancement-mode is called a MOSFET.
A MOSFET is an important semiconductor device and can be used in
any of the circuits covered for JFET. However, a MOSFET has several
advantages over JFET including high input impedance
and low cost of production.
Types of MOSFETs
There are two basic types of MOSFETs viz.
1. Depletion-type MOSFET or D-MOSFET. The D-MOSFET can be operated in
both the depletion- mode and the enhancement-mode. For this reason, a D-
MOSFET is sometimes called depletion/enhancement MOSFET.
2. Enhancement-type MOSFET or E-MOSFET. The E-MOSFET can be
operated only in enhancement-mode. The manner in which a MOSFET is
constructed determines whether it is D-MOSFET or EMOSFET.
1. D-MOSFET the constructional details of n-channel D-MOSFET. It is
similar to n-channel JFET except with the following modifications/remarks :
(i) The n-channel D-MOSFET is a piece of n-type material with a p-type
region (called substrate) on the right and an insulated gate on the left as
shown in Fig. 19.43. The free electrons (Q it is n-channel) flowing from
source to drain must pass through the narrow channel between the gate and
the p-type region (i.e. substrate).
(ii) Note carefully the gate construction of D-MOSFET. A thin layer of
metal oxide (usually silicon dioxide, SiO2) is deposited over a small portion
of the channel. A metallic gate is deposited over the oxide layer. As SiO2 is
an insulator, therefore, gate is insulated from the channel. Note that
the arrangement forms a capacitor. One plate of this capacitor is the gate
and the other plate is the channel with SiO2 as the dielectric. Recall that we
have a gate diode in a JFET.
(iii) It is a usual practice to connect the substrate to the source (S)
internally so that a MOSFET has three terminals viz source (S), gate (G)
and drain (D).
(iv) Since the gate is insulated from the channel, we can apply either
negative or positive voltage to the gate. Therefore, D-MOSFET can be
operated in both depletion-mode and enhancement-mode. However, JFET
can be operated only in depletion-mode.
2. E-MOSFETthe constructional details of n-channel E-MOSFET.
Its gate construction is similar to that of D-MOSFET. The E-MOSFET
has no channel between source and drain unlike the D-MOSFET. Note
that the substrate extends completely to the SiO2 layer so that no
channel exists. The E-MOSFET requires a proper gate voltage to form
a channel (called induced channel). It is reminded that E-MOSFET can
be operated only in enhancement mode.
In short, the construction of E-MOSFET is quite similar to that of the
D-MOSFET except for the absence of a channel between the drain
and source terminals.
Why the name MOSFET ? The reader may wonder why is the
device called MOSFET?
The answer is simple. The SiO2 layer is an insulator. The gate
terminal is made of a metal conductor. Thus, going from gate to
substrate, you have a metal oxide semiconductor and hence the
name MOSFET.Since the gate is insulated from the channel, the
MOSFET is sometimes called insulated-gate FET (IGFET). However,
this term is rarely used in place of the term MOSFET.
Symbols for D-MOSFET
There are two types of D-MOSFETs viz (i) n-channel D-MOSFET and (ii) p-
channel D-MOSFET.
(i) n-channel D-MOSFET, the various parts of n-channel D-MOSFET.
The p-type substrate constricts the channel between the source and drain so

Depletion-Type MOSFET BIASING TECHNIQUES
Depletion-type MOSFET bias circuits are similar to JFETs. The only difference
is that the depletion-Type MOSFETs can operate with positive values of VGS
and with ID values that exceed IDSS.

E-MOSFET
Two things are worth noting about E-MOSFET. First, E-MOSFET operates only
in the enhancement mode and has no depletion mode. Secondly, the E-
MOSFET has no physical channel from source to drain because the substrate
extends completely to the SiO2 layer
(ii) When gate is made positive (i.e. VGS is positive) it attracts
free electrons into th p region. The free electrons combine with the
holes next to the SiO2 layer. If VGS is positive enough, all the holes
touching the SiO2 layer are filled and free electrons begin to flow
from the source to drain. The effect is the same as creating a thin
layer of n-type material (i.e. inducing a thin n-channel) adjacent to
the SiO2 layer. Thus the E-MOSFET is turned ON and drain current
starts flowing form the source to the drain.The minimum value of
VGS that turns the E-MOSFET ON is called threshold voltage [VGS
(th)].
(iii) When VGS is less than VGS (th), there is no induced channel
and the drain current ID is zero. When VGS is equal to VGS (th),
the E-MOSFET is turned ON and the induced channel conducts drain
current from the source to the drain. Beyond VGS (th), if the value
of VGS is increased, the newly formed channel becomes wider,
causing ID to increase. If the value of VGS decreases [not less than
VGS (th)], the channel becomes narrower and ID will decrease. This
fact is revealed by the transconductance
curve of n-channel E-MOSFET shown in Fig. 19.56. As you can see, ID
= 0 when VGS = 0. Therefore, the value of IDSS for the E-MOSFET is
zero. Note also that there is no drain current until VGS reaches
VGS (th).
IG =0A, therefore VRG = 0V
Therefore: VDS = VGS

• By combining parallel resistors into equivalent RB and R, the equivalent AC

• Large capacitors are short circuits • Large inductors are open circuits

DC Thevenin you did in step 1.
4) Replace transistor with small signal model

6) Calculate the small signal parameters and gain etc
 OPAMP is a high gain differential amplifier which is used for
different operation like
addition,subastraction,integration,differentiation etc.and it is also
used for amplification that’s why it is known as operational
amplifier.it has basically five terminal,two input terminal,one
output terminal,two supply source positive voltage supply
source,negative voltage supply source
OPAMP terminals
• OPAMP has two input terminal that is inverting input
and non inverting input
• If input is applied to non inverting input terminal, then
output will be in-phase with input ‘so it is known as non
inverting input terminal
• If input is applied to inverting input terminal, then
output will be 180 degrees out of phase with input so it is
known as inverting input terminal
• If inputs are applied to both terminals, then output will
be proportional to difference between the two inputs
• Two DC power supplies (dual) are required
• Magnitudes of both may be same
• The other terminal of both power supplies are connected to
common ground
• All input and output voltages are measured with reference to
the common ground
Ideal Operational Amplifier characteristic
Operational amplifier (Op-amp) is made of many transistors,
diodes, resistors and capacitors in integrated circuit technology.
Ideal op-amp is characterized by:
Infinite input impedance
Infinite gain for differential input
Zero output impedance
Infinite frequency bandwidth
Op-amp are almost always used with a negative feedback:
Part of the output signal is returned to the input with negative sign
Feedback reduces the gain of op-amp
Since op-amp has large gain even small input produces large output,
thus for the limited output voltage (lest than VCC) the input voltage vx
must be very small.
Practically we set vx to zero when analyzing the op-amp circuits.
Inverting Amplifier
with vx =0 i1 = vin /R1
i2 = i1 and
vo = -i2 R2 = -vin R2 /R1
so
Av=vo /vin =-R2 /R1
i1
i2
Inverting Amplifier
Since vo = -i2 R2 = -vin R2 /R1
Then we see that the output voltage does not depend on the load
resistance and behaves as voltage source.
Thus the output impedance of the inverting amplifier is zero.
The input impedance is R1 as Zin=vin/i1=R1
Voltage Follower
=>
vo = v1(1+ R2 /R1)
vo = v1
Special case of noninverting amplifier is a voltage follower
so when R2=0
Since in the noninverting amplifier
Summing Amplifier
The output voltage in summing amplifier is
vo=-if*Rf since vi=0
if=iA+iB=vA/RA+vB/RB => vo=-(vA/RA+vB/RB)*Rf
For n inputs we will have
vo=- Rf *Si(vi/Ri)

 The purpose of feedback circuit is to return a fraction of the
output voltage to the input of the amplifier circuit.
Both negative feedback and positive feedback are used in amplifier
circuits.

whereas in positive feedback the feedback signal aids the input
signal.

    14 The basic functionof transistor is amplification. The process of raising the strength of weak signal without any change in its general shape is referred as faithful amplification. For faithful amplification it is essential that:- 1. Emitter-Base junction is forward biased 2. Collector- Base junction is reversed biased 3. Proper zero signal collector current The proper flow of zero signal collector current and the maintenance of proper collector emitter voltage during the passage of signal is called transistor biasing. WHY BIASING? If the transistor is not biased properly, it would work inefficiently and produce distortion in output signal. HOW A TRANSISTOR CAN BE BIASED? A transistor is biased either with the help of battery or associating a circuit with the transistor. The later method is more efficient and is frequently used. The circuit used for transistor biasing is called the biasing circuit.

Without an ac signal applied to a transistor, specific values of IC and VCE exist at a specific point on a dc load line This specific point is called the Q point (quiescent currents and voltages with no ac input signal) An amplifier is biased such that the Q point is near the center of dc load line ICQ = ½ IC(sat) VCEQ = ½ VCC Base bias provides a very unstable Q point, because IC and VCE are greatly affected by any change in the transistor’s beta value

    21 BIAS STABILITY  Throughproper biasing, a desired quiescent operating point of the transistor amplifier in the active region (linear region) of the characteristics is obtained. It is desired that once selected the operating point should remain stable. The maintenance of operating point stable is called Stabilisation.  The selection of a proper quiescent point generally depends on the following factors: (a) The amplitude of the signal to be handled by the amplifier and distortion level in signal (b) The load to which the amplifier is to work for a corresponding supply voltage  The operating point of a transistor amplifier shifts mainly with changes in temperature, since the transistor parameters — β, ICO and VBE (where the symbols carry their usual meaning)—are functions of temperature.

    JFET is aunipolar-transistor, which acts as a voltage controlled current device and is a device in which current at two electrodes is controlled by the action of an electric field at a reversed biased p-n junction. MOSFET Field effect transistor is a unipolar transistor, which acts as a voltage-controlled current device and is a device in which current at two electrodes drain and source is controlled by the action of an electric field at another electrode gate having in-between semiconductor and metal very a thin metal oxide layer . .
  • 28.
    Junction Field EffectTransistor (JFET) A junction field effect transistor is a three terminal semiconductor device in which current conduction is by one type of carrier i.e., electrons or holes. In a JFET, the current conduction is either by electrons or holes and is controlled by means of an electric field between the gate electrode and the conducting channel of the device. The JFET has high input impedance and low noise level. A JFET consists of a p-type or n-type silicon bar containing two pn junctions at the sides . The bar forms the conducting channel for the charge carriers. If the bar is of n-type, it is called n-channel JFET and if the bar is of p- type, it is called a p-channel JFET. The two pn junctions forming diodes are connected *internally and a common terminal called gate is taken out. Other terminals are source and drain taken out from the bar as shown. Thus a JFET has essentially three terminals viz., gate (G), source (S) and drain (D
  • 30.
     Principle. Thetwo pn junctions at the sides form two depletion layers. The current conduction by charge carriers (i.e. free electrons in this case) is through the channel between the two depletion layers and out of the drain.  The width and hence *resistance of this channel can be controlled by changing the input voltage VGS.  The greater the reverse voltage VGS, the wider will be the depletion layers and narrower will be the conducting channel. The narrower channel means greater resistance and hence source to drain current decreases.  Reverse will happen should VGS decrease. Thus JFET operates on the principle that width and hence resistance of the conducting channel can be varied by changing the reverse voltage VGS. In other words, the magnitude of drain current (ID) can be changed by altering VGS. Working.
  • 31.
    The working ofJFET is as under : (i) When a voltage VDS is applied between drain and source terminals and voltage on the gate is zero .the two pn junctions at the sides of the bar establish depletion layers. The electrons will flow from source to drain through a channel between the depletion layers. The size of these layers determines the width of the channel and hence the current conduction through the bar. (ii) When a reverse voltage VGS is applied between the gate and source .the width of the depletion layers is increased. This reduces the width of conducting channel, thereby increasing the resistance of n-type bar. Consequently, the current from source to drain is decreased. On the other hand, if the reverse voltage on the gate is decreased, the width of the depletion layers also decreases. This increases the width of the conducting channel and hence source to drain current.
  • 33.
    Difference Between JFETand Bipolar Transistor The JFET differs from an ordinary or bipolar transistor in the following ways : (i) In a JFET, there is only one type of carrier, holes in p-type channel and electrons in n-type channel. For this reason, it is also called a unipolar transistor. However, in an ordinary transistor, both holes and electrons play part in conduction. Therefore, an ordinary transistor is sometimes called a bipolar transistor. (ii) As the input circuit (i.e., gate to source) of a JFET is reverse biased, therefore, the device has high input impedance. However, the input circuit of an ordinary transistor is forward biased and hence has low input impedance. (iii) The primary functional difference between the JFET and the BJT is that no current (actually, a very, very small current) enters the gate of JFET (i.e. IG = 0A). However, typical BJT base current might be a few μA while JFET gate current a thousand times smaller
  • 34.
    (iv) A bipolartransistor uses a current into its base to control a large current between collector and emitter whereas a JFET uses voltage on the ‘gate’ ( = base) terminal to control the current between drain (= collector) and source ( = emitter). Thus a bipolar transistor gain is characterised by current gain whereas the JFET gain is characterised as a transconductance i.e., the ratio of change in output current (drain current) to the input (gate) voltage. (v) In JFET, there are no junctions as in an ordinary transistor. The conduction is through an n- type or p-type semi-conductor material. For this reason, noise level in JFET is very small.
  • 35.
    Important Terms In theanalysis of a JFET circuit, the following important terms are often used : 1. Shorted-gate drain current (IDSS) 2. Pinch off voltage (VP) 3. Gate-source cut off voltage [VGS (off)] 1. Shorted-gate drain current (IDSS). It is the drain current with source short-circuited to gate (i.e. VGS = 0) and drain voltage (VDS) equal to pinch off voltage. It is sometimes called zero-bias current. 2. JFET circuit with VGS = 0 i.e., source shorted-circuited to gate. This is normally called shorted-gate condition.
  • 36.
    2. Pinch offVoltage (VP). It is the minimum drain-source voltage at which the drain current essentially becomes constant. Gate-source cut off voltage VGS (off). It is the gate-source voltage where the channel is completely cut off and the drain current becomes zero.

The main parameters of a JFET are (i) a.c. drain resistance (ii) transconductance (iii) amplification factor. (i) a.c. drain resistance (rd).

    Metal Oxide SemiconductorFET (MOSFET) The main drawback of JFET is that its gate must be reverse biased for proper operation of the device i.e. it can only have negative gate operation for n-channel and positive gate operation for p-channel. This means that we can only decrease the width of the channel (i.e. decrease the *conductivity of the channel) from its zero-bias size. This type of operation is referred to as **depletion-mode operation. Therefore, a JFET can only be operated in the depletion-mode. However, there is a field effect transistor (FET) that can be operated to enhance (or increase) the width of the channel (with consequent increase in conductivity of the channel) i.e. it can have enhancement-mode operation. Such a FET is called MOSFET. A field effect transistor (FET) that can be operated in the enhancement-mode is called a MOSFET. A MOSFET is an important semiconductor device and can be used in any of the circuits covered for JFET. However, a MOSFET has several advantages over JFET including high input impedance and low cost of production.
  • 52.
    Types of MOSFETs Thereare two basic types of MOSFETs viz. 1. Depletion-type MOSFET or D-MOSFET. The D-MOSFET can be operated in both the depletion- mode and the enhancement-mode. For this reason, a D- MOSFET is sometimes called depletion/enhancement MOSFET. 2. Enhancement-type MOSFET or E-MOSFET. The E-MOSFET can be operated only in enhancement-mode. The manner in which a MOSFET is constructed determines whether it is D-MOSFET or EMOSFET. 1. D-MOSFET the constructional details of n-channel D-MOSFET. It is similar to n-channel JFET except with the following modifications/remarks : (i) The n-channel D-MOSFET is a piece of n-type material with a p-type region (called substrate) on the right and an insulated gate on the left as shown in Fig. 19.43. The free electrons (Q it is n-channel) flowing from source to drain must pass through the narrow channel between the gate and the p-type region (i.e. substrate). (ii) Note carefully the gate construction of D-MOSFET. A thin layer of metal oxide (usually silicon dioxide, SiO2) is deposited over a small portion of the channel. A metallic gate is deposited over the oxide layer. As SiO2 is an insulator, therefore, gate is insulated from the channel. Note that the arrangement forms a capacitor. One plate of this capacitor is the gate and the other plate is the channel with SiO2 as the dielectric. Recall that we have a gate diode in a JFET.
  • 53.
    (iii) It isa usual practice to connect the substrate to the source (S) internally so that a MOSFET has three terminals viz source (S), gate (G) and drain (D). (iv) Since the gate is insulated from the channel, we can apply either negative or positive voltage to the gate. Therefore, D-MOSFET can be operated in both depletion-mode and enhancement-mode. However, JFET can be operated only in depletion-mode.
  • 54.
    2. E-MOSFETthe constructionaldetails of n-channel E-MOSFET. Its gate construction is similar to that of D-MOSFET. The E-MOSFET has no channel between source and drain unlike the D-MOSFET. Note that the substrate extends completely to the SiO2 layer so that no channel exists. The E-MOSFET requires a proper gate voltage to form a channel (called induced channel). It is reminded that E-MOSFET can be operated only in enhancement mode. In short, the construction of E-MOSFET is quite similar to that of the D-MOSFET except for the absence of a channel between the drain and source terminals. Why the name MOSFET ? The reader may wonder why is the device called MOSFET? The answer is simple. The SiO2 layer is an insulator. The gate terminal is made of a metal conductor. Thus, going from gate to substrate, you have a metal oxide semiconductor and hence the name MOSFET.Since the gate is insulated from the channel, the MOSFET is sometimes called insulated-gate FET (IGFET). However, this term is rarely used in place of the term MOSFET.

    Depletion-Type MOSFET BIASINGTECHNIQUES Depletion-type MOSFET bias circuits are similar to JFETs. The only difference is that the depletion-Type MOSFETs can operate with positive values of VGS and with ID values that exceed IDSS. The DC Analysis  Same as the FET calculations  Plotting the transfer characteristics of the device  Plotting the at a point that VGS exceeds the 0V or more positive values  Plotting point when VGS=0Vand ID=0A  The intersection between Shockley characteristics and linear characteristics defined the Q-point of the MOSFET  The problem is that how long does the transfer characteristics have to be draw?  We have to analyze the input loop parameter relationship.  As RS become smaller, the linear characteristics will be in narrow slope therefore needs to consider the extend of transfer characteristics for example of voltage divider MOSFET SDGGS RSGSG RIVV VVV   0  The bigger values of VP the more positive values we should draw for the transfer characteristics

    E-MOSFET Two things areworth noting about E-MOSFET. First, E-MOSFET operates only in the enhancement mode and has no depletion mode. Secondly, the E- MOSFET has no physical channel from source to drain because the substrate extends completely to the SiO2 layer
  • 63.
    (ii) When gateis made positive (i.e. VGS is positive) it attracts free electrons into th p region. The free electrons combine with the holes next to the SiO2 layer. If VGS is positive enough, all the holes touching the SiO2 layer are filled and free electrons begin to flow from the source to drain. The effect is the same as creating a thin layer of n-type material (i.e. inducing a thin n-channel) adjacent to the SiO2 layer. Thus the E-MOSFET is turned ON and drain current starts flowing form the source to the drain.The minimum value of VGS that turns the E-MOSFET ON is called threshold voltage [VGS (th)]. (iii) When VGS is less than VGS (th), there is no induced channel and the drain current ID is zero. When VGS is equal to VGS (th), the E-MOSFET is turned ON and the induced channel conducts drain current from the source to the drain. Beyond VGS (th), if the value of VGS is increased, the newly formed channel becomes wider, causing ID to increase. If the value of VGS decreases [not less than VGS (th)], the channel becomes narrower and ID will decrease. This fact is revealed by the transconductance curve of n-channel E-MOSFET shown in Fig. 19.56. As you can see, ID = 0 when VGS = 0. Therefore, the value of IDSS for the E-MOSFET is zero. Note also that there is no drain current until VGS reaches VGS (th).

    Ideal Operational Amplifiercharacteristic Operational amplifier (Op-amp) is made of many transistors, diodes, resistors and capacitors in integrated circuit technology. Ideal op-amp is characterized by: Infinite input impedance Infinite gain for differential input Zero output impedance Infinite frequency bandwidth
  • 77.
    Op-amp are almostalways used with a negative feedback: Part of the output signal is returned to the input with negative sign Feedback reduces the gain of op-amp Since op-amp has large gain even small input produces large output, thus for the limited output voltage (lest than VCC) the input voltage vx must be very small. Practically we set vx to zero when analyzing the op-amp circuits.
