was asking for the transconductance of a single transistor. And – as we know – the transconductance gm of a FET is much smaller if compared with the BJT. I think, we cannot neglect it for a single stage amplifier.
What is GM in FET?
The transconductance gm, is the change in the drain current for given change in gate to source voltage with the drain to source voltage constant as shown in Fig. Looking at Fig. we can say that it is the slope of the transfer characteristic. Since the slope varies, gm also varies.
Transconductance is the ratio of drain current (ID) to gate-source voltage (VGS) when a constant drain-source voltage is applied. The current to voltage ratio is commonly referred to as gain.
Why transconductance is GM?
The symbol ‘g’ is used for Conductance. The gm value is Idt/Vdt, also called the mutual conductance, so its notation is gm. I suppose, Eric means: gm=dI/dV. Because we have the dimension current/voltage=1/Ohm, this ratio gives a conductance g.
Field effect transistors
Typical values of gm for a small-signal field effect transistor are 1 to 30 millisiemens.
