The value of VDS that causes ID to reach its maximum value at a constant value of VGS is called
A) VDmax).
B) pinchoff voltage.
C) VDSS.
D) None of these is correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pinchoff voltage is the value of VDS at which the drain current ID reaches its maximum value for a given constant value of VGS in a field-effect transistor (FET). At this point, the channel is fully depleted at the drain end, preventing any further increase in current despite increases in VDS.
