Bipolar devices, meaning they use both electron and hole Unipolar devices, which means they rely on either electrons (N-
charge carriers (NPN and PNP types). channel) or holes (P-channel) as charge carriers.
Current-controlled devices, which means their output current Voltage-controlled devices, meaning their output current is
is controlled by the input current flowing into the base controlled by the voltage applied to the gate terminal.
terminal.
Typically have lower input impedance compared to FETs, High input impedance, making them suitable for applications
which means they draw more current from the input source. where a high-impedance input source is desired.
Generally, have lower output impedance compared to FETs, Typically have higher output impedance, making them better
which means they have a better current-driving capability. suited for voltage-buffering applications.
Typically used for applications where voltage amplification is Often used in applications where current amplification and
required, such as audio amplifiers. switching are needed, such as in digital logic circuits.
Known for their lower noise performance, making them Excellent noise performance, especially in high-impedance
suitable for low-noise applications like audio amplification. applications.
Common applications include amplifiers (both audio and RF), Common applications include voltage amplifiers, digital logic
switching circuits, and analog signal processing. gates, high-frequency circuits, and high-impedance sensors.

Voltage-Controlled Resistor
The region to the left of the pinch-off locus of Fig.
6.11 is referred to as the ohmic or voltage-
controlled resistance region. In this region the JFET
can actually be employed as a variable resistor
(possibly for an automatic gain control system)
whose resistance is controlled by the applied gate-
to-source voltage.
