JFET Buffer Bias Calculator

A JFET buffer (Common Drain Amplifier) is useful in that it has extremely high input resistance as compared to a BJT buffer. The input resistance is equal to RG, which is typically very large, on the order of 1M ohm.

IDS (mA)
RS (ohms)
VGS (V)

Equations:

IDS= IDSS(1-VGS/Vp)2

RS= VRS/IDS
