In a JFET, IDSS is known as ________________?
Correct answer: B. drain to source current with gate shorted
- A. drain to source current
- B. drain to source current with gate shorted
- C. drain to source current with gate open
- D. none of the above
Explanation
IDSS is the drain-to-source current when the gate is shorted to the source, so VGS equals zero. It represents the maximum drain current of a JFET in its normal operating range.
