Common Base Transistor Configuration (CB)

The common base transistor configuration gives a low i/p while giving a high o/p impedance.
When the voltage of the CB transistor is high, the gain of the current and overall gain of the
power is also low compared to the other transistor configurations. The main feature of the B
transistor is that the i/p and o/p of the transistor are in phase.

Common Collector Transistor Configuration (CC)

The common collector transistor configuration is also known as the emitter follower because the
emitter voltage of this transistor follows the base terminal of the transistor. Offering a high i/p
impedance & a low o/p impedance are commonly used as a buffer.The voltage gain of this
transistor is unity, the current gain is high and the o/p signals are in phase.

Common Emitter Transistor Configuration (CE)

The common emitter transistor configuration is most widely used configuration. The circuit of CE
transistor gives a medium i/p and o/p impedance levels. The gain of the both voltage and current
can be defined as a medium, but the o/p is opposite to the i/p that is 1800 change in the phase.
This gives a good performance and it is frequently thought of as the most commonly used
configurations.

The basic difference is the pin of the transistor that is grounded. The common collector has the
collector pin grounded, common emitter has the emitter pin grounded and common base, as you
guessed it, has the base pin grounded.

The following article explains the differencnes perfectly. Please do refer it.

CB (Common Base) configuration

It is transistor circuit in which base is kept common to the input and output circuits.

Characteristics:

It has low input impedance (on the order of 50 to 500 Ohms).

It has high output impedance (on the order of 1 to 10 Mega Ohms).

Current gain(alpha) is less than unity.

CE (Common Emitter) configuration


It is transistor circuit in which emitter is kept common to both input and output circuits.

Characteristics (applications):

It has high input impedance (on the order of 500 to 5000 Ohms).

It has low output impedance (on the order of 50 to 500 Kilo Ohms).

Current gain (Beta) is 98.

Power gain is upto 37 dB.

Output is 180 degree out of phase.

CC (Common Collector) configuration

It is transistor circuit in which collector is kept common to both input and output circuits. It is
also called as emitter follower.

Characteristics:

It has high input impedance (on the order of about 150 to 600 Kilo Ohms).

It has low output impedance (on the order of about 100 to 1000 Ohms).

Current gain (Beta) is about 99.

Voltage and power gain is equal to or less than one.

Every circuit component has two pins positive and negative

But transistor has the 3 pins so we do combination like one pin we take common in input and
output

So if base is common then it becomes common base

If collector is common it's common collector

If emitter is common it's common emitter

To find out instantly circuit has which combination

The pin which is common is always connected to ground

In day to day life we use common emitter on most of the circuit

Their i/p and o/p impedances, the capacitances they offer are all different. Their capacity to work
as voltage/current amplifiers depend on these configurations.
