Try to use a JFET with a "low" tolerance in Idss.\n2. Use a JFET with high Idss and set the Id with an\n additional resistor in the FET's source.\n This results in a reduction of the tolerance of Id.\n \nFor this design:\nThe tolerance of the current Id can be reduced from a factor of 5 to a factor \nof 2 if a high value of RS (10k Ohm) is used, but the current will be \nlowered to about 100uA with the 2N5484.
