    1. The experiment investigates using a JFET as a constant current source and chopper. 2. For the constant current source, the JFET exploits the near horizontal lines in its drain characteristics to provide constant current to a load. 3. For the chopper, the JFET acts as an analog switch to convert a slowly varying signal to a series of pulses whose amplitudes vary slowly in the same way, functioning as a pulse amplitude modulator.

    Objective:
    To investigate the Use of JFET as a Constant Current Source & as Chopper

    Apparatus:
    DC power supply, nFET, Multimeter, Breadboard, Resistor

    Circuit Diagram:
    Constant Current Source Chopper

    Theory:
    Constant Current Source:
    A constant current source can provide constant current to a load irrespective of its value. It is analogous to a constant
    voltage source which can provide a constant voltage to a variety of load values. A JFET can be used as a constant current
    source due to near horizontal lines in its drain characteristics. As it was established in last section, the circuit operates in its
    constant current region when VDS is greater than pinch off voltage; we exploit this property of JFET to achieve a constant
    current source using the circuit shown above. Maximum value of R D for which the circuit operates as a constant current
    source is designed using the following expression:
    𝑉DD − 𝐼D 𝑅D > |𝑉p |
    Chopper:
    A chopper is an analog switch that can be turned on and off at a rapid rate by a periodic sequence of pulses. It is used to
    covert a slowly varying signal into a series of pulses whose amplitudes vary slowly in the same way. A chopper is an
    example of a modulator, in this case a pulse amplitude modulator (PWM).
    As shown in the circuit above, a sinusoidal signal flows through FET only when pulse allows it. If we want a certain (great
    percentage) of vs available as vL, voltage divider theorem can help to design the value of RL:
    𝑅L
    𝑣L = ( )𝑣
    𝑅 L + 𝑟c c
    Procedure:
    Constant Current Source:
    Use equation 1 to design maximum value of R D while VDD=20V, ID=10mA and Vp=3V are given
    Use a variable resistor as shown in the circuit, vary its value and record ID in a table, stop where the current is no longer
    constant, compare this value of resistor with the one designed in last step

    Chopper:
    Set frequency of Sine wave as 1KHz and of pulse equal to 5kHz and draw input & output waveforms in the table
    Repeat with sine wave having the same frequency while frequency of pulse is increased to 10 kHZ
    Repeat with sine wave having the same frequency while frequency of pulse is increased to 15 kHZ
