One thing I always want to know - did you have to look it up, or did you know it off the top of your head?
I am rather in awe of the people I have met who are walking encyclopedias of this sort of information... I sure as heck can't remember where I put my glasses from one minute to the next, much less formulas for things like this...

Yes Stinius if you follow that I think you get the industry accepted answers. Notice the source bootstrapped in measuring the Crss. This is necessary because the channel acts like a low value R shorting somewhat the drain and source. So now the first circuit measures Cgs + Cgd and the second just Cgd. Does anyone know if a GR impedance bridge has a driven shield? I think I can dig one of those up.

Are you saying that the -lower- transconductance devices (k240/j75) gave
lower distortion than the higher transconductance devices (k146/j73)?
If this is the case the circuit is sub optimal.
Thank you Dimitri this is a more concise treatment. Same problem here in that these measurenents should agree with the Motorola ones and not the Toshiba ones. Again Ciss is measured vs Vgs not Vgd, drain and source AC shorted.
I think this stuff is important because these properties are at the forefront in determining fine scale performance and getting correct models might help the sims match reality.
WRT non linear C versus IP device transfer, of course we agree here,
see my post 3333.

WRT 146/240 differences, passive vol control b4 the IP stage is the culprit.
This was also discussed previously.

I have both a GR digibridge 1658 and the old fashioned manual version 1650a. The 1650a is two terminal system the 1658 takes jigs and is four terminal. The way I read the ap note the DUT generates the driven shield.
The ap note is not the way I would try to make a measurement that low.
Upon more careful reading of Dimitri's link I think I can rationalize the Toshiba graphs with those test jigs if Cgs = 24pF and Cgd @ 0 ~ 40pF This is far off of any models that I can find.
What's worse in the LSK270 model Pb = 1.2v and Mj = .59 while most 2SK170 models Pb = .6V or so and Mj is closer to .4. I have seen blind curve fitting in characterization before so I need to run some models vs datasheet curves and then maybe measure some.
No wonder sims don't match reality.
side note
i wonder if 'science' is beginning to be able to measure and understand why exotic materials might sound different?

How about this one? http://www.helmholtz-berlin.de/pubbin/news_datei?did=4061
It could be a coincidence of the mathematics involved, but nothing to do with the subjective beauty of things designed using the "golden ratio".

Your post above is useless without any more detail. What are you referring to? Why do you think it (whatever) is nonsense?
Another member would be put under moderation for such troll-like posts. Would you enjoy that too?

Well, everyone, I thought we were talking about non-linear input capacitance, but it shifted over to quantum mechanics, instead.
In truth, except for measuring Cin changes slightly above and below Idss, we are, as usual, bogged down.
Actually, I like the quantum mechanical cite. Perhaps, I should not really care that it is posted here, except it does lead astray.
