Types of Biasing in FETs Explained

The document outlines various types of biasing methods for FETs, including fixed bias, self bias, and voltage divider bias, along with their respective equations for VGS, VDS, VG, and VS. It also describes the output characteristics of JFETs, D-MOSFETs, and E-MOSFETs, detailing their operational regions such as ohmic, saturation, and cutoff. Additionally, it highlights the polarity relationships between VGS and VDS for different types of FETs.

Types of biasing

Fixed bias Self bias Voltage divider bias


VGS = −VGG VGS = −IDRS VGS = VG − IDRS

VGS = −(IDRS ) + x

VDS = VDD − IDRD VDS = VDD − ID(RD + RS ) VDS = VDD − ID(RD + RS )

VG = VGS VG = 0

JFET

VDS > Vp → Ohmic region (Acts as a resistor)


VDS ≥ Vp → Saturation region (Constant drain current)
VGS = Vp → Cut off region (No drain current/off)

D-MOSFET

When D-MOSFET operates in depletion mode, it acts like JFET


If the polarity of V is switched for a specific D-MOSFET it will operate in the
GS

enhancement mode.
In enhancement mode it will provide current more than I DSS

E-MOSFET

VDS < VGS − VT & VDS > VT → Ohmic region (Acts as a resistor)
VDS < VGS − VT Saturation region (Constant drain current)
VGS < VT → Cut off region (No drain current/off)
