  2. Common emitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_emitter

    The common-emitter circuit is the most widely used of junction transistor amplifiers. As compared with the common-base connection, it has higher input impedance and lower output impedance. A single power supply is easily used for biasing. In addition, higher voltage and power gains are usually obtained for common-emitter (CE) operation.

  3. Common collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_collector

    In electronics, a common collector amplifier (also known as an emitter follower) is one of three basic single-stage bipolar junction transistor (BJT) amplifier topologies, typically used as a voltage buffer. In this circuit the base terminal of the transistor serves as the input, the emitter is the output, and the collector is common to both ...

    Terminal 3 (common), emitter; giving x to be e; i i, base current (i b) i o, collector current (i c) V in, base-to-emitter voltage (V BE) V o, collector-to-emitter voltage (V CE) and the h-parameters are given by: h ix = h ie for the common-emitter configuration, the input impedance of the transistor (corresponding to the base resistance r pi).

  5. Common base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_base

    Common base. In electronics, a common-base (also known as grounded-base) amplifier is one of three basic single-stage bipolar junction transistor (BJT) amplifier topologies, typically used as a current buffer or voltage amplifier. In this circuit the emitter terminal of the transistor serves as the input, the collector as the output, and the ...

  6. Early effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_effect

    The narrowing of the collector does not have a significant effect as the collector is much longer than the base. The emitter–base junction is unchanged because the emitter–base voltage is the same. Base-narrowing has two consequences that affect the current: There is a lesser chance for recombination within the "smaller" base region.

  7. Transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor

    An amplifier circuit, a common-emitter configuration with a voltage-divider bias circuit The common-emitter amplifier is designed so that a small change in voltage ( V in ) changes the small current through the base of the transistor whose current amplification combined with the properties of the circuit means that small swings in V in produce ...

  8. Load line (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_line_(electronics)

    In graphical analysis of nonlinear electronic circuits, a load line is a line drawn on the current–voltage characteristic graph for a nonlinear device like a diode or transistor. It represents the constraint put on the voltage and current in the nonlinear device by the external circuit. The load line, usually a straight line, represents the ...

  9. Cascode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascode

    The cascode is a two-stage amplifier that consists of a common emitter stage feeding into a common base stage when using bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) [1][2] or alternatively a common source stage feeding a common gate stage when using field-effect transistors (FETs). Because there is no direct coupling from the output to input, the ...
