Hi,
I building the JFET buffer from AMZ:



The supply I have available in my circuit is 20V DC and not 9V. I can easilly drop the voltage down a have a 9V feed,
But wouldn't I have more headroom if I run this circuit with 20V?

To run it with 20V do I have to change the Biasing on the JFET or resistor values in the circuit, or can I use it as is?

Thank you so much for your help
Best regards

Gus

With JFETS you need to think about the voltage gate to drain.
Often you will want to keep this not much greater than 8VDC
