Mostrode: a mosfet approach to the triode 3/2 law

Notes on a mosfet approach to the triode 3/2 law and triode type characteristics

In 1938 Schade proposed a mechanism to transform a pentode tube into a triode by connecting the plate to the grid using a resistor network. Here is the graphs from his work "Beam Power tubes" by O. H. Schade, March 1938.

The same can be done with JFETs. Let us take a BS170 (http://www.fairchildsemi.com/ds/BS/BS170.pdf‎) MOSFET. I'm using TINA-TI for the simulations. Here is the schem for the simulation

The next graph shows the drain current as a function of drain voltage for various values of the gate voltage (from 6V - upper curve, to 0V).

The relation between the drain current and the gate-to-source voltage is latex2png equation where Vth is the turn on threshold voltage and it has the typical value of 2.1V.
