The common collector amplifier is sometimes called the emitter follower circuit because
- the emitter voltage follows the collector voltage.
- the emitter current follows the collector current.
- the emitter voltage follows the base voltage.
Explanation
In the common-collector stage the output is taken from the emitter, which sits about 0.6 V below the base and tracks any change in base voltage almost exactly. Because the emitter voltage faithfully follows the base voltage with a gain just under unity, the circuit is called an emitter follower.
funcaul asking:
Please kindly explain. Also can I get a link or material where I can read up on all the modules.thanks.
