Study Notes

FET transistor

A Field Effect Transistor (FET) is a three-terminal active electronic component.
The output current of a FET is controlled by the input voltage.
FETs can be used in two primary applications:
- As an amplifier
- As a switch

FET Classification

One type of FET is the Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET).
The JFET has a unique symbol.

Field Effect Transistor (FET)

A three-terminal active electronic component
