The Emitter Follower Amplifier Part 2 [Transistor TS 6]

Transistor tutorial series episode 6. In this episode we design an emitter follower bipolar junction transistor (BJT) amplifier circuit and demonstrate its properties in the lab. Afterwards, we introduce the concept of impedance reflection and how it can make some transistor-level analysis much simpler. Concepts discussed: design of an emitter follower based on a set of requirements demonstration of gain and output impedance of the emitter follower circuit demonstration of nonlinear effects with high-current loads impedance reflection introduction impedance reflection example circuit 00:00 Intro 00:39 Emitter Follower Design 15:38 Lab Demo Small Signals 19:38 Lab Demo Large Signals 23:11 Impedance Reflection Derivation 27:04 Impedance Reflection Example 31:29 Outro This video is part of the transistor tutorial series, a series that explores the fundamentals of transistors including BJT, MOSFETS, and JFETs
