What is Transconductance of FET ?

Transconductance, often denoted as "gm," is a key parameter in field-effect transistors (FETs) and is analogous to the gain parameter in bipolar junction transistors (BJTs). It measures the relationship between the input voltage and the output current in a FET. More specifically, it quantifies how a change in the gate-source voltage (V_gs) of the FET results in a change in the drain current (I_d ).

How to Calculate Transconductance of FET?

Transconductance of FET calculator uses Forward Transconductance FET = (2*Zero Bias Drain Current)/Pinch OFF Voltage*(1-Drain Source Voltage FET/Pinch OFF Voltage) to calculate 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 G_m(fet) symbol.

How to calculate Transconductance of FET using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Transconductance of FET, enter Zero Bias Drain Current (I_dss(fet)), Pinch OFF Voltage (V_off(fet)) & Drain Source Voltage FET (V_ds(fet)) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Transconductance of FET calculation can be explained with given input values -> 21.70678 = (2*0.00069)/63.56*(1-4.8/63.56).
