p-Channel JFET Linear Region Calculator

    p-Channel JFET Linear Region Calculator

    Calculate the output (drain) current of a p-channel JFET in the linear region.

    Step 1: Enter JFET Parameters

    Example: \(5 \times 10^{-3}\) A

    Enter as a positive value (for p-channel, this represents \(|V_P|\))

    Example: 4 V

    Example: 0.5 V (small value in linear region)

    Linear Region Current: $$ I_D = \frac{2I_{DSS}}{V_P^2}\left[(V_{SG} – V_P)V_{SD} – \frac{V_{SD}^2}{2}\right] $$

    (For p-channel JFET, use \(V_{SG}\) and a positive \(V_P\))
