  • Method and device for reducing influence of early effect
    Patent number: 7576594
    Abstract: A method is provided for improving the performance of a circuit containing a three-terminal device. In the operation of a circuit containing three-terminal device 10, the influence of the Early effect pertaining to the three-terminal device of a FET is reduced. In order to reduce the influence, control unit 30 is set for reducing the Early effect component caused by a three-terminal device. As a result, by controlling the potential of the second terminal (such as drain) of the device as a response to a first signal pertaining to the input signal received by the first terminal (such as gate) of the device, it is possible for the potential difference between the second terminal (drain) and the third terminal (such as source) of the device to be essentially constant.
