FET Amplifiers and Switching Circuits


Because of their extremely high input resistance and low
noise, FET amplifiers are a good choice for certain
applications, such as
• Amplifying low-level signals Communication receivers.
• Advantage in certain power amplifiers and switching
circuits because biasing is simple .
•The standard amplifier configurations are
Common-source (CS), Analogous to CE configurations of BJTs
Common-drain (CD) Analogous to CC configurations of BJTs
Common-base (CB), Analogous to CB configurations of BJTs.
FETs are superior to BJTs in nearly all switching applications
