  4. Common Base Amplifiers • Uses the same stabilised bias scheme as CE configuration.

  5. Common Base Amplifiers • Uses the same stabilised bias scheme as CE configuration. • The base is grounded for a.c. signals using a large capacitor. • Signal input at the emitter (between the emitter and the common base) • Signal output at the collector (between the collector and the common base)

  22. To find the output impedance we note that: Hence Common Collector Amplifier

  23. Common Collector Amplifier • The voltage gain is slightly less than unity. • The CC circuit is sometimes known as an emitter follower since the output voltage at the emitter follows the input voltage at the base.

  24. Common Collector Amplifier • The prime function of this circuit is to connect a high resistance source to a low resistance load (“a buffer amplifier”). • Since voltage gain is approximately one this is achievable as the current gain is high.
