Applications of JFET

In general, like BJTS the FETS can be used in switch, digital and linear amplifier applications. Let us see specific applications of FET.

• Since JFET has high input impedance and low output impedance they are used as a buffer in measuring instruments.

• Because of low noise, they are used in RF amplifiers in FM tuners and in communication equipments.

• Since the input capacitance of FET is low, it is used test in cascade amplifiers in measuring and equipments.

• FETs are used in mixer circuits in FM and TV receivers, and communication equipments. Since use of FET reduces inter modulation distortion.

• Because of low frequency drift they are used in oscillators.

• FETs are also used in low frequency amplifiers.

• FETs are used in digital circuits.
