OBJECTIVE:
To obtain common collector(CC) characteristics of NPN transistor
EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED:
Power supply
Breadboard.
Transistor ( 2N3904 or any NPN Silicon Transistor)
Resistor ( 100kΩ , 1kΩ,470kΩ)
Digital Multimeter ( DMM)
THEORY:
In common collector configuration, collector terminal is common between input and output. Input is
applied between base and collector. Output is taken from emitter and collector. Voltage gain of CC
configuration is less than unity. CC amplifier is used to provide current gain. It has very high input
impedance and very low output resistance hence it is used to connect low impedance load to source which
is having high output impedance. Thus, it can be used as impedance matching. Emitter current is
approximately equal to collector current, hence output characteristics of CC configuration is very much
same as CE configuration. However, input characteristics of CE and CC are quite different.

CONCLUSION.
In this we came to know about the common emitter configuration of NPN transistor. We used a software
mutisim and draw the circuit diagram for input characteristics. We keep VCC constant at 0V and we
increased VBB from 0.5 to 5V and wemeasured voltage of collector to base Vcb and base current Ib. .Then
we changed VCC to 5V and 10V and repeat the same process.
Then we draw crcuit diagram for output characteristics. We fix the the base current Ib at 1uA and measured
the values of emmiter current Ie and collector to emmiter voltage Vce. Then we repeat the same process for
base current at 5uA and 10uA. And fix Vbb at 0.8, 1.5 and 2.1V. then we draw graph at the end.
