Probably a dumb question here.. but.. what happens to the DC characteristics of, say, a p-channel MOSFET if I pull the bulk potential above the source by a few volts? Will Id vs. Vgs change much?

Not a dumb question at all. It moves the channel around similar to the gate, so transconductance and threshold change.
Do you have a specific type in mind? Does it have a model available?
Let me know. If you don't have a model I can run a generic device and post the plots so you can see what it looks like.

That would be great.
These guys, which have common bulk:
I see a plot of changes vs. *substrate* bias but not bulk-- all the specs are at Vbs = 0. These parts are nicely specified for analog applications.
My idea is to use these as pass transistors for a number of independent high precision 10uA current sources of both polarities. Will current flow in or out of that pin? I was thinking to connect it to a voltage 2.5V beyond the rail.

^^^^^ oops, make that "source" Best regards, Spehro Pefhany

You might also look at the SD5400 datasheet. A decade ago I've used them a lot for such stuff because the substrate was brought out on a separate package pin. Then they became boutiqueish and expensive :-(

Thanks, Jim! Exactly what I need.

You're welcome!
When are you and "C" coming to Phoenix again?
