COMMON-EMITTER EMITTER-BIAS CONFIGURATION:
BYPASSED RE
Bypassed
If RE is bypassed by an emitter capacitor CE, the complete re equivalent model can be
substituted, resulting in the same equivalent network as Fig. 5.22. Equations of slide no. 13
are therefore applicable.

EMITTER-FOLLOWER CONFIGURATION
• This is also known as the common-collector configuration.
• The input is applied to the base and the output is taken from the emitter.
• There is no phase shift between input and output.

COMMON-BASE CONFIGURATION
• The input is applied to the emitter.
• The output is taken from the collector.
• Low input impedance.
• High output impedance.
• Very high voltage gain.
• No phase shift between input and output.

COMMON-BASE CONFIGURATION
• Phase Relationship:
The fact that Av is a positive number shows that Vo and Vi are in phase for the common-base
configuration.
• Effect of ro :
For the common-base configuration, ro = 1/hob is typically in the megohm range and sufficiently
larger than the parallel resistance RC to permit the approximation ro || RC ≈ RC.

EXAMPLE
• EXAMPLE 5.8: For the network of following figure, determine: re, Zi, Zo, Av, Ai.
