• Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) Small Signal Model:

“The small signal model of a Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) is a simplified representation used to
analyze the behavior of the JFET under small signal conditions, in which ac input signal is applied to the gate
and ac output is taken out.”
Major component:
A major component of the ac model will reflect the fact that an ac voltage applied to the input gate-to-
source terminals will control the level of current from drain to source.
The gate-to-source voltage controls the drain-to-source (channel) current of a JFET.
A dc gate-to-source voltage controls the level of dc drain current through a relationship known as Shockley’s
equation:
𝐼𝐷 =𝐼𝐷𝑆𝑆 (1- Vgs/Vp)
Change in drain current:
The change in drain current that will result from a change in gate-to-source voltage can be determined
using the transconductance factor g m in the following manner:
Transconductance:
The prefix trans - in the terminology applied to gm reveals that it establishes a relationship
between an output and an input quantity.
The root word conductance was chosen because gm is determined by a current-to-voltage ratio
similar to the ratio that defines the conductance of a resistor, G = 1/R = I/V.
Solving for gm in Eq. (1), we have

Geometrical determination of gm:


If we now examine the transfer characteristics of Fig. 8.1 , we find that g m is actually the slope of
the characteristics at the point of operation. That is,
• Following the curvature of the transfer characteristics, it is reasonably clear that the slope and,
therefore, g m increase as we progress from V P to I DSS .
• In other words, as Vgs approaches 0 V, the magnitude of gm increases.
• Equation (2) reveals that gm can be determined at any Q -point on the transfer characteristics by
simply choosing a finite increment in Vgs (or in I D ) about the Q -point and then finding the
corresponding change in I D (or V GS , respectively).
• The resulting changes in each quantity are then substituted in Eq. (2) to determine gm .
• Mathematical Definition of gm:
It was stated that:
“The derivative of a function at a point is equal to the slope of the tangent line drawn at that
point. “
