The chapter provides an in-depth analysis of Common Base and Common Gate amplifiers, focusing on their operational characteristics and small signal analysis. Key relationships between input and output voltages are derived, alongside the implications of source resistance on voltage gain. The concepts of input and output impedance are explored, revealing significant impacts on circuit performance and suitability as voltage amplifiers.
The voltage gain of common base and common gate amplifiers is phase coherent with their inputs, differing from the common emitter configuration.
The input impedance of common base and common gate circuits is quite low, which affects performance when interfaced with source resistance.
Output resistance is significantly high in both common base and common gate configurations, making them suitable as current amplifiers.
The ratio of output voltage to input voltage in an amplifier circuit, which can vary based on bias configurations and circuit arrangements.
The impedance presented by the input of an amplifier, which affects how much voltage from the source is effectively utilized by the amplifier.
The resistance seen by the load connected to the output of the amplifier, impacting how much current is delivered to that load.
An amplifier configuration where the base terminal is common to both input and output, characterized by low input impedance and high output impedance.
An amplifier configuration analogous to the common base but for MOSFETs, with the gate terminal serving as the common point.
