A technique used in the operation of some transistors, in which the collector is common to both the input and output circuits, the input terminal is the base, and the output terminal is the collector.
A method of operating a bipolar junction transistor in which the collector is common to both the input and output circuits and is usually earthed (see diagram). The base is used as the input terminal and the emitter as the output terminal. This type of connection is used for the emitter follower.
The equivalent connection for a field-effect transistor is common-drain connection and for a thermionic valve is common-anode connection.
