Transconductance of FET Formula Elements

Variables
Forward Transconductance FET
Forward Transconductance FET refers to the change in output current resulting from a change in input voltage, indicating the device's amplification capability.
Symbol: Gm(fet)
Measurement: Electric ConductanceUnit: mS
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Zero Bias Drain Current
Zero Bias Drain Current in a FET is the drain current that flows when the gate voltage is equal to zero.

How to Evaluate Transconductance of FET?

Transconductance of FET evaluator uses Forward Transconductance FET = (2*Zero Bias Drain Current)/Pinch OFF Voltage*(1-Drain Source Voltage FET/Pinch OFF Voltage) to evaluate the Forward Transconductance FET, Transconductance of FET is a measure of how much its drain current changes in response to a change in its gate voltage. The transconductance of an FET is not constant, but varies depending on the operating point of the FET. The operating point is determined by the gate voltage and the drain current. The transconductance is highest at the center of the operating range and decreases towards the edges. Forward Transconductance FET is denoted by Gm(fet) symbol.
