COMMON COLLECTOR

Prepared By:
S.SIVASELVA MATHI
Common collector:
• In this configuration, the base terminal of the transistor serves as the
input, the emitter terminal is the output and the collector terminal is
common for both input and output. Hence, it is named as common
collector configuration. The input is applied between the base and
collector while the output is taken from the emitter and collector.
Common collector:
• The common collector or grounded collector configuration is
generally used where a high impedance input source needs to be
connected to a low impedance output load requiring a high current
gain.
• High input impedence & low output impedence
• High current gain & low voltage gain
• The input supply voltage between base and collector is denoted by
VBC while the output voltage between emitter and collector is
denoted by VEC.
• input current or base current is denoted by IB and output current or
emitter current is denoted by IE.
Input characteristics:
• The input characteristics describe the relationship between input current
or base current (IB) and input voltage or base-collector voltage (VBC).
• To determine the input characteristics, the output voltage VEC is kept
constant at 3V and the input voltage VBC is increased from zero volts to
different voltage levels. For each level of input voltage VBC, the
corresponding input current IB is noted. A curve is then drawn between
input current IB and input voltage VBC at constant output voltage VEC (3V).
Output characteristics:

• The output characteristics describe the relationship between output


current or emitter current (IE) and output voltage or emitter-collector
voltage (VEC).
• To determine the output characteristics, the input current IB is kept
constant at zero micro amperes and the output voltage VEC is
increased from zero volts to different voltage levels. For each level of
output voltage VEC, the corresponding output current IE is noted.
• In common collector configuration, if the input current is zero then the output
current is also zero. As a result, no current flows through the transistor. So the
transistor will be in the cutoff region. If the base current is slightly increased
then the output current also increases. So the transistor falls into the active
region. If the base current is heavily increased then the current flowing through
the transistor also heavily increases. As a result, the transistor falls into the
saturation region.
• Dynamic input resistance:
Dynamic input resistance is defined as the ratio of change
in input voltage or base voltage (VBC) to the corresponding change in input
current or base current (IB), with the output voltage or emitter voltage
(VEC) kept at constant.
The input resistance of common collector is high.
• Dynamic output resistance:

Dynamic output resistance is defined as the ratio of change


in output voltage or emitter voltage (VEC) to the corresponding change in
output current or emitter current (IE), with the input current or base
current (IB) kept at constant.
The output resistance of common collector amplifier is low.
