  1. Скромное очарование JFET

    TL:DR Полевые транзисторы с управляющим p–n-переходом в большинстве — маломощные устройства, применяемые для усиления малых сигналов. Основное полезное свойство — огромное входное сопротивление и невысокий собственный шум (по сравнению с биполярными транзисторами). Мы разберёмся с основными свойствами этих транзисторов, рассмотрим схему усилительного каскада, сделаем усилитель и проведём простой опыт, демонстрирующий влияние электрического поля на ток через прибор. Уровень материала рассчитан на новичков.

  2. Electronics idea.

    There are opamps with bipolar junction transistors (BJT) in the input stage.

    There are others with junction field-effect transistors (JFET) in the input stage.

    There are yet others with metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFET) [1] in the input stage.

    Idea: find an application for the bizarre possibility of an opamp with insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) in the input stage. This is more stunt-designing than anything practical.

    [1] IIUC, "CMOS" opamps are really just MOSFET-input opamps. I'm not sure why the process technology name is more commonly used rather than the device type as is universally used for BJT and JFET input opamps.

  7. Before I lost the job that I moved for, I had been planning to buy a decent LCD Oscilloscope, but that changed when I was let go.

    Now I find myself needing an oscilloscope because I have to bias a bunch of JFET transistors.

  8. The opamps in the original are three dual-opamp NJM4558, which is a bog-standard dual-741 bipolar type. So pretty much any bipolar opamp should work just fine, I would think. I have 4558s - they're dirt cheap - so I used those, but I used sockets so I might try swapping them for something else and see if the sound changes at all. I might try #JFET ones like #TL07x .

    The silicon clipping diodes in the original - in positions D3, D4, D5, D8, and D9 - are 1S2473 . I used #1N4148 instead.

    There are also a pair of germanium diodes used for inline clipping (as opposed to more common signal-to-ground clipping). These are in positions D6 and D7. The original uses 1S188FM, and I substituted #1N60 .

    The original circuit uses 5 different types of transistor, but one of those is only used in the soft-switching bypass route. So the only ones needed with my modified schematic are Q1, Q3, Q6, and Q7:

    Q1 - original #2SK30A-Y N-channel JFET type. Unlike the rest, this one is still widely available, and I had some.

    Q3 - original #2SC732TM-GR silicon NPN. I substituted #C945 / 2SC945.

    Q6 - original #2SC2240-GR silicon NPN. I used #BC548 / SBC548.

    Q7 - original #2SA970-GR silicon PNP. I used #BC558 / SBC558.

    I used sockets for all the diodes and transistors, so I might try swapping some of those around too.

    I might take some photos of the finished boards and add them tomorrow.

    Hope someone found this interesting!

  9. In case anyone's keeping score, the idea that JFETs have hugely variable properties and that this problem cannot be - or at least has not been - fixed with different design or manufacturing practices, this batch showed it pretty clearly to me.

    20 J113s, minus 1 fake, equals 19 devices. I measured the Vgs / pinch-off voltage and the Id / drain current in my test rig. The result?

    6 very distinct bins with between 2 and 6 devices in each. Vgs overall varied from (-) 1.30 V to 2.11 V (variance is 38% of the larger value, or 62% of the smaller...), and Id from 5.7 mA to 12.8 mA, a spread of 125% (!) of the smaller value.

    No wonder so many JFET circuits just don't work if you don't hand-match the devices.

  14. Measuring the characteristics of some cheap J113 / 2SJ113 n-channel JFETs I bought, so I can match them / divvy them into bins.

    Put #15 of 20 into the JFET test circuit, and the power supply's current limiter kicks in ... whoops. Did I have it turned around so I swapped the terminals? Nope...

    Take a peek at it. Slightly different marking. Still "J113", but the factory/date code is different. Put it in the component tester... it's a PNP BJT transistor, not a JFET at all, and with a pinout completely unsuitable for the JFET test circuit. If it had been in for more than a second, it probably would have let the Magic Smoke out.

    Oh, #AliExpress sellers, where would #hobbyist #electronics people be without you? Somewhere with less excitement in their lives, I guess.

  19. JFET в роли регулируемого резистора

    Привет, Хабр! Наверное, у многих словосочетание «регулируемый резистор» ассоциируется с обычным потенциометром. Потенциометр — это компромиссное решение, часто используемое на этапе отладки аналоговых узлов или в случаях, когда требуется аналоговое управление со стороны человека, например, для регулировки громкости в аудиоусилителе или изменения яркости света с помощью диммера.

  23. One for the JFET experts - I'm repairing a vectorscope which has a blown input FET on channel A.
    This is the input circuit - A and B are the same, and the A and B input FETs (BF244Bs) are called out as "matched pair".
    What parameter do I need to measure and match?
    I figured Idss but that doesn't seem to have cut it, as the A- and B-ch have an offset error between them.

    Whether these bits are any good on #styrene or #polycarbonate is another matter. The deWalt bits I had were no good (and one set I just got is likely identical to one I had, except for the case).

    I don’t do much HW stuff, but sometimes am drilling into thing to house hokey little #electronics projects (such as my #JFET #opAmp continuity detector for making sure I didn’t screw up the connections in the next version).
