The CS JFET amplifier is capable of large voltage and current gains.
EXAMPLE 8.4.1
A JFET for whichVA=80 V,VP=4 V, andIDSS=10 mA has a quiescent drain current of 3
mA when used as a common-source amplifier for whichRD=RSS=1kandRL=3k. For
the case of fully bypassedRSS, find the amplifier’s voltage gainAv 1. Also determine the current
gainAiifR 1 =300 kandR 2 =100 k.
