Common Collector Amplifier Flashcards

1
Q

This is a Common Collector because the input is applied to the _____, the output is taken from the _____, and the _____ is common.

A

This is a Common Collector because the input is applied to the base, the output is taken from the emitter, and the collector is common.

Q

What are the two basic circuits of the Common Collector Amplifier?

What is common about the collector?

A

Two basic circuits:

  1. Input - Base to Collector
  2. Output - Collector to Emitter

The collector is common to both circuits.

Q

Does change in one circuit affect the other? If so, how?

A

Yes

A changing input signal changes the bias voltage on the base of the transistor.

When the input signal increases, the bias voltage increases. An increase in bias voltage increases current flow in the emitter collector circuit.

When the input signal decreases, the bias voltage decreases. A decrease in bias voltage decreases current flow in the emitter collector circuit.
