What is the ohmic region of a field effect transistor used for?

  • A.Making a voltage-controlled resistor
  • B.Amplifying a small signal at high gain
  • C.Providing a constant current independent of load
  • D.Switching at the highest possible speed

Answer: A

Below pinch-off the channel behaves as a resistance the gate voltage controls, which is the basis of voltage-controlled attenuators, automatic gain control and analogue switches. Amplification and constant-current behaviour both need the saturation region. Switching speed depends on capacitances rather than region. The same device serving as an amplifier in one region and a resistor in another is unusual enough to be worth remembering explicitly.
