Matching Stuff

Posted 27th November 2011 at 12:24 AM by Michael Rothacher (Audiohobby.com)

The topic of JFET and MOSFET matching comes up often in the forums, so I thought I'd show you the jigs I use.

First up, is my trusty old JFET IDSS matcher.

There's a 9V battery inside, and the meter probes are conneted across a 10 Ohm resistor which is connected to the JFET drain. I included a polarity switch for convenience when testing P channel parts.

It's pretty easy to connect the microclips, count to five, and take a reading.

And here's what I use for the big stuff. This is my MOSFET Vgs matcher.

First, I install a sample part and let it warm up for about an hour. There's a thermistor hot-glued to the heat sink,...

Compact PCB For All JFET Circlotron

This is the artwork for the PCB in the pictures. It fits into the ExpressPCB miniboard profile so it's a little cheaper to have made.

It will be necessary to check the orientation of the bias pots (I can't remember). I wouldn't want you to blow-up your $30 JFETs.

All JFET Circlotron

Posted 22nd January 2011 at 11:29 PM by Michael Rothacher (Audiohobby.com)

I've been mostly out of the audio hobby for a while, but I've had a few inquiries about the SemiSouth version of the Amazing FET Circlotron as of late. So, I wanted to post the performance graphs here before I lose them.
