JFETs – The Dirty Details (1/3): Theory

JFETs are single junction devices that have some tricks up there sleeves … ↓↓↓ Complete description, time index and links below ↓↓↓ My main project is still going through a hiatus, so to kill the time and because I might have some use for them down the line, let’s talk about JFETs (Junction Field Effect Transistors). We start by comparing MOSFETs, BJTs, SCRs and TRIACS with JFETs. Then we have a look at their working principle. At the end we go through the datasheet of a J176 JFET. 00:00 Intro – let’s have a look at JFETs 00:33 JFETs are different – comparison 04:56 Working principle – just a junction 12:11 Datasheet – J176 as an example 24:17 Wrap-up – part 2 coming up, but maybe not next week, bye Tutorials:    • Tutorials   JFETs – The Dirty Details (2/3): Practice 1    • JFETs – The Dirty Details (2/3): Practice 1   JFETs – The Dirty Details (3/3): Practice 2    • JFETs – The Dirty Details (3/3): Practice 2   TRIACs – The Dirty Details (1/3): Gating, Latching and Holding    • TRIACs – The Dirty Details (1/3): Gating, ...   TRIACs – The Dirty Details (2/3): Other Parameters, Limits and Thermal    • TRIACs – The Dirty Details (2/3): Other Pa...   TRIACs – The Dirty Details (3/3): Practical Considerations    • TRIACs – The Dirty Details (3/3): Practica...   #jfet #tutorials #tutorial #robertssmorgasbord
