What Does JUGFET Stand For?

JUGFET stands for JUnction Gate Field Effect Transistor

JUGFET, or Junction Gate Field Effect Transistor, is a type of field-effect transistor that utilizes a p-n junction to control current flow through a semiconductor channel. Unlike traditional field-effect transistors that use an insulated gate, JUGFET features a gate region formed by a pn junction, allowing for improved performance characteristics such as high input impedance and low power consumption. JUGFETs are commonly used in analog applications, including signal amplification and voltage regulation, due to their efficient operation and stability.
