Move capacitor CS from its parallel connection across RS2 to a position across RS1 in Fig. 4-33. Let RG=1 MΩ, RS1=800 Ω, RS2=1.2 kΩ, and RL=1 kΩ. The JFET is characterized by gm=0.002 S and rds=30 kΩ. Find (a) the voltage-gain ratio Av=vL/vi, (b) the current-gain ratio Ai=iL/ii, (c) the input impedance Rin, and (d) the output impedance Ro.
(a) The equivalent circuit (with current-source JFET model) is given in Fig. 7-18. By KVL,
vgs=vi – vL (1)
Using vi and vL as node voltages, we have
ii=RGvi – vL (2)
Now let Req1=rds1+RS21+RL1=30 × 1031+1.2 × 1031+1 × 1031=5361
By KCL and Ohm’s law,
vL=(ii+gmvgs)Req (3)
Substitution of (1) and (2) into (3) and rearrangement lead to
Av=vivL=RG + (gmRG + 1)Req(gmRG + 1)Req=1 × 106 + [(0.002)(1 × 106) + 1](536)[(0.002)(1 × 106) + 1](536)=0.517
(b) The current-gain ratio follows from part a as
Ai=iiiL=(vi – vL)/RGvL/RL=(1 – Av)RLAvRG=(1 – 0.517)(1 × 103)(0.517)(1 × 106)=1070.4
(c) From (2), ii=RGvi – vL=RGvi(1 – Av) (4)
Rin is found directly from (4) as
Rin=iivi=1−AvRG=1 – 0.5171 × 106=2.07MΩ
(d) We remove RL and connect a driving-point source oriented such that vdp=vL. With vi deactivated (shorted), vgs=−vdp. Then, by KCL,
idp=vdp(RS21+rds1+RG1) – gmvgs=vdp(RS21+rds1+RG1+gm)
and Ro=idbvdb=RS21 + rds1 + RG1 + gm1=1.2 × 1031+30 × 1031+1 × 1061+0.0021=348.7 Ω
