1.) Common drain amplifier
- In the Common Drain configuration, the input is applied to the Gate and its output is taken from the Source.
- The input signal is applied to the gate through a coupling capacitor, and the output signal is coupled to the load resistor through the other capacitor.
- A common-drain amplifier is also called a source-follower. Self-biasing is used in this particular circuit.
2.) Common source amplifier
- In the Common source configuration, the input is applied to the Gate and its output is taken from the drain.
- This configuration provides a 180° phase shift between input and output.
3.) Common gate amplifier
- In the Common gate configuration, the input is applied to the source, and its output is taken from the drain.
