    Common drain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 10-5-17 下午7:07 Common drain From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In electronics, a common-drain amplifier, also known as a source follower, is one of three basic single- stage field effect transistor (FET) amplifier topologies, typically used as a voltage buffer. In this circuit the gate terminal of the transistor serves as the input, the source is the output, and the drain is common to both (input and output), hence its name. The analogous bipolar junction transistor circuit is the common- collector amplifier. In addition, this circuit is used to transform impedances. For example, the Thévenin resistance of a combination of a voltage follower driven by a voltage source with high Thévenin resistance is reduced to only the output resistance of the voltage follower, a small resistance. That resistance reduction makes the combination a more ideal voltage source. Conversely, a voltage follower inserted between a small load resistance and a driving stage presents an infinite load to the driving stage, an advantage in coupling a voltage signal to a small load. Characteristics At low frequencies, the source follower pictured at right has the following small signal characteristics.[1] Voltage gain: Current gain: Input impedance: Basic N-channel JFET source Output impedance: (the parallel notation indicates the impedance follower circuit (neglecting of components A and B that are connected in parallel) biasing details). The variable gm that is not listed in Figure 1 is the transconductance of the device (usually given in units of siemens).

  • ECE 255, MOSFET Basic Configurations
    ECE 255, MOSFET Basic Configurations 8 March 2018 In this lecture, we will go back to Section 7.3, and the basic configurations of MOSFET amplifiers will be studied similar to that of BJT. Previously, it has been shown that with the transistor DC biased at the appropriate point (Q point or operating point), linear relations can be derived between the small voltage signal and current signal. We will continue this analysis with MOSFETs, starting with the common-source amplifier. 1 Common-Source (CS) Amplifier The common-source (CS) amplifier for MOSFET is the analogue of the common- emitter amplifier for BJT. Its popularity arises from its high gain, and that by cascading a number of them, larger amplification of the signal can be achieved. 1.1 Chararacteristic Parameters of the CS Amplifier Figure 1(a) shows the small-signal model for the common-source amplifier. Here, RD is considered part of the amplifier and is the resistance that one measures between the drain and the ground. The small-signal model can be replaced by its hybrid-π model as shown in Figure 1(b). Then the current induced in the output port is i = −gmvgs as indicated by the current source. Thus vo = −gmvgsRD (1.1) By inspection, one sees that Rin = 1; vi = vsig; vgs = vi (1.2) Thus the open-circuit voltage gain is vo Avo = = −gmRD (1.3) vi Printed on March 14, 2018 at 10 : 48: W.C. Chew and S.K. Gupta. 1 One can replace a linear circuit driven by a source by its Th´evenin equivalence.

  • Lecture 33 Multistage Amplifiers (Cont.)
    Lecture 33 Multistage Amplifiers (Cont.) DC Coupling: General Trends * Goal: want both input and output to be “centered” at halfway between the positive and negative supplies (or ground, for a single supply) -- in order to have maximum possible swing at the input and at the output. Summary of DC shifts through the single stages: BJT Amp. npn version Type CE positive CB positive CC negative* MOS Amp. n-channel p-channel Type version version CS positive negative CG positive negative CD negative* positive* The DC voltage shifts for CC/CD stages are set by the VBE = 0.7 V drop or by the VGS of the transistor and can be specified by the designer. EE 105 Fall 2001 Lecture 33 DC Coupling Example * Common drain - common collector cascade (infinite input resistance, fairly low output resistance, unity voltage gain ... reasonable voltage buffer) For CC stage, the optimum output voltage of 2.5 V (centered between + 5 V and ground for maximum swing) --> VIN2 = DC input of CC amp = 2.5 + 0.7 V = 3.2 V The DC of the n-channel CD amplifier is then: VIN = DC input of CD amp = VIN2 + VGS1 = 3.2 V + 1.5 V = 4.7 V where we have assumed that VGS1 = 1.5 V as a typical gate-source voltage (actual number comes from ISUP1and (W/L)). * too close to the supply voltage -- input DC level should be centered at or near 2.5 V. EE 105 Fall 2001 Lecture 33 DC Biasing Example (Cont.) * Solution: use p-channel CD amplifier since it shifts the DC level in the positive direction from input to output Selection of large (W/L) for the p-channel --> input DC level can be adjusted closer to 2.5 V.

  • The Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT)
    The Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) Introduction he transistor, derived from transfer resistor, is a three terminal device whose resistance between two terminals is controlled by the third. The term bipolar reflects the fact that T there are two types of carriers, holes and electrons which form the currents in the transistor. If only one carrier is employed (electron or hole), it is considered a unipolar device like field effect transistor (FET). The transistor is constructed with three doped semiconductor regions separated by two pn junctions. The three regions are called Emitter (E), Base (B), and Collector (C). Physical representations of the two types of BJTs are shown in Figure (1–1). One type consists of two n -regions separated by a p-region (npn), and the other type consists of two p-regions separated by an n- region (pnp). Figure (1-1) Transistor Basic Structure The outer layers have widths much greater than the sandwiched p– or n–type layer. The doping of the sandwiched layer is also considerably less than that of the outer layers (typically, 10:1 or less). This lower doping level decreases the conductivity of the base (increases the resistance) due to the limited number of “free” carriers. Figure (1-2) shows the schematic symbols for the npn and pnp transistors 1 College of Electronics Engineering - Communication Engineering Dept. Figure (1-2) standard transistor symbol Transistor operation Objective: understanding the basic operation of the transistor and its naming In order for the transistor to operate properly as an amplifier, the two pn junctions must be correctly biased with external voltages.

  • Junction Field Effect Transistor Or JFET Tutorial
    4/10/2020 Junction Field Effect Transistor or JFET Tutorial Home / Transistors / Junction Field Effect Transistor Junction Field Effect Transistor The Junction Field Effect Transistor, or JFET, is a voltage controlled three terminal unipolar semiconductor device available in N-channel and P-channel configurations In the Bipolar Junction Transistor tutorials, we saw that the output Collector current of the transistor is proportional to input current flowing into the Base terminal of the device, thereby making the bipolar transistor a “CURRENT” operated device (Beta model) as a smaller current can be used to switch a larger load current. The Field Effect Transistor, or simply FET however, uses the voltage that is applied to their input terminal, called the Gate to control the current flowing through them resulting in the output current being proportional to the input voltage. As their operation relies on an electric field (hence the name field effect) generated by the input Gate voltage, this then makes the Field Effect Transistor a “VOLTAGE” operated device. The Field Effect Transistor is a three terminal unipolar semiconductor device that has very similar characteristics to those of their Bipolar Transistor counterparts. For example, high efficiency, instant operation, robust and cheap and can be used in most electronic circuit applications to replace their equivalent bipolar junction transistors (BJT) cousins. Field effect transistors can be made much smaller than an equivalent BJT transistor and along with their low power consumption and power dissipation makes them ideal for use in integrated circuits such as the CMOS range of digital logic chips. Typical Field Effect Transistor https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/transistor/tran_5.html 1/9 4/10/2020 Junction Field Effect Transistor or JFET Tutorial We remember from the previous tutorials that there are two basic types of bipolar transistor construction, NPN and PNP, which basically describes the physical arrangement of the P-type and N-type semiconductor materials from which they are made.
