A JFET has IDSS = 4mA and VP = -2V. If the desired ID = 2mA, find the corresponding VGS and determine the RS needed if ID is expected to increase to 3mA.
💡 Hint: Ensure to realize how VGS changes with respect to ID based on Shockley's formula.
Design a self-bias circuit for a JFET with VDD = 10V, aiming for ID = 2mA with IDSS = 3mA and VP = -1V. Calculate RD and RS.
💡 Hint: Focus on maintaining balance of currents across the key resistors to optimize the design.
