Which configuration has the highest input impedance?

  • A.Common collector
  • B.Common emitter
  • C.Common base
  • D.They are all comparable

Answer: A

The common collector's input impedance is beta times the emitter load, so it is the highest of the three by a wide margin. Common emitter is moderate, at a few kilohms, and common base is very low, at tens of ohms. That high input impedance is precisely why an emitter follower is used to drive a low-impedance load from a high-impedance source without loading it.
