What is a Junction Field Effect Transistor?
JFETs (or Junction Field Effect Transistors) are very simple and quite powerful, which is why they're still in use even though MOSFETs have become much more popular. Let's go over what makes them unique! We pulled this snippet from our full overview of JFETs and you can check out the full version here: • What is a JFET and how does it work?

JFETs are not as popular as their cousin, the MOSFET, but they're still important enough that we wanted to discuss what a JFET is and go into the details of how it works. This high-level overview is helpful for anyone trying to get a basic idea of JFETs and the benefits and drawbacks of their use. We always highly recommend also reading the written tutorial, which can be found here: https://www.circuitbread.com/ee-faq/j...
