• Amplifier input resistance is limited by RB in this circuit. Why not make it
bigger?
Lecture 15-7
Emitter Follower --- Buffer
• Even though the load resistance is 10kΩ, the input resistance is much higher
• This is a desirable feature of a buffer amplifier, especially if RS is large, or RL
is small
• Is Rin big enough for our example? What is vi?

Common Base Amplifier
• Gain is close to unity
• Very low input impedance --- great for impedance matching (e.g. 50
ohms)
• Large output impedance -- approximately RC
• Great high frequency behavior -- more on this later...

Current Source Biasing
• Instead of resistors, a current source is used to bias the transistor in this
example
• Current sources can be used to bias other amplifier types too
• Building a current source is less expensive than building a resistor on an
IC --- we’ll be addressing IC issues such as this much more extensively
beginning with the next lecture
