A BJT common collector amplifier is a circuit in which the collector and the base of the BJT share a common input supply, hence the name common collector. In our previous articles we have learned the other two transistor configurations, namely the common-base and the common-emitter. In this article I have explained the third and […]

Darlington Transistor Calculations
Darlington transistor is a well known and popular connection using a pair of bipolar transistor junction transistor (BJT), designed for operating like an unified “superbeta” transistor. The following diagram shows the details of the connection. Definition A Darlington transistor can be defined as a connection between two BJTs that allows them to form a single […]
