This document discusses various BJT amplifier configurations including the common-emitter amplifier, common-collector amplifier, Darlington pair, Sziklai pair, and CB amplifier. It explains the use of a capacitor and resistor in the common-emitter amplifier to provide AC grounding and stabilize the collector current. Differential amplifiers are also covered, noting their advantages of high power supply rejection and common mode noise rejection, though they have higher power consumption and require well-matched transistors. Examples and a quiz are provided.

6. The Common-Emitter Amplifier
 Capacitor C2
 The capacitor is used to provide AC grounds for the emitter terminal.
 It will be able to increase voltage gain of the amplifier and also provide high pass filter for
the amplifier
 Resistor RE
 This resistor will make the collector current, IC almost independent from current gain (β)
of the BJT.
 Current gain is varied from one transistor to other transistor across process and
temperature
 This resistor is able to stabilize the DC current even though the current gain (β) is
changing.
 High Impedance for Input and Output
 As the input is voltage, to achieve maximum voltage transfer, the input needs to have high
impedance so that the entire AC signal from the signal source will be transferred to the
input of the amplifier
 The gain of this amplifier depends on the output impedance of the amplifier. Higher output
impedance will produce higher gain for the amplifier
