Common Base Transistor Configuration (CB) : Savan Mehta
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.
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.
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 following article explains the differencnes perfectly. Please do refer it.
It is transistor circuit in which base is kept common to the input and output circuits.
Characteristics:
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).
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).
But transistor has the 3 pins so we do combination like one pin we take common in input and
output
