Question 367

What is characteristic of an emitter follower (or common collector) amplifier?

  1. Low input impedance and phase inversion from input to output
  2. Differential inputs and single output
  3. Acts as an OR circuit if one input is grounded
  4. Input and output signals in-phaseCorrect answer

Explanation

In an emitter follower the emitter voltage tracks the base voltage, so the output is in phase with the input. Voltage gain is slightly less than one; the stage is used for its high input impedance and low output impedance, that is, as a buffer.
