THR EE OPERATING REGIONS FOR JFET :
1. OHMIC REGION
When VGS = 0, the depletion layer of the channel is very small and the JFET
acts like a voltage controlled resistor.
2. PINCH-OFF REGION CHAPTER 2
VGS is sufficient to cause the JFET to act as an open circuit as the channel
resistance is at maximum. (ID = 0A)
It is the point where increasing the voltage VDS will not increase the current.
3. SATURATION/ACTIVE REGION
JFET becomes a good conductor and is controlled by the Gate-Source voltage
(VGS) while the Drain-Source voltage (VDS) has a little or no effect. In this
region, the transistor can be an amplifier. CHAPTER 1
