A source follower, also known as a common-source amplifier with a source output, is a type of transistor amplifier configuration, typically using a MOSFET, where the output is taken from the source terminal. It provides high input impedance, low output impedance, and unity voltage gain, making it ideal for impedance matching between circuits. The source follower is commonly used in applications such as buffering signals and driving loads without significant signal degradation. This configuration is valued for its ability to isolate different stages of a circuit while preserving signal integrity.

A Field Effect Transistor (FET) operates as a source follower due to its configuration where the output is taken from the source terminal. In this setup, the input signal is applied to the gate, and the output voltage at the source closely follows the gate voltage, minus a small threshold voltage drop. This characteristic allows the source follower to provide a high input impedance and low output impedance, making it an effective buffer for signal amplification without significant gain.
Configuration Voltage Gain Current Gain Input Resistance Output Resistance Common- Source AV >1 - ∞ Moderate to high Source-Follower AV ≈ 1 - ∞ Low Common- Gate AV > 1 Ai ≈ 1 Low Moderate to high Both the common-gate and common source has voltage gain of greater that 1 compared with the voltage gain of source- follower which is less than or approximately equal to 1 . The input resistance of both common-source and source follower is high typically ranges from kilo ohms and above while common-gate has a low input impedance ranges from hundred ohms or below. The output resistance of both common-gate and common-source are dominated by RD while source follower has low output impedance and is not dominated by RD
A christian IS a follower, of Jesus. it's not "a christian's follower" it's a christian follower (of jesus).
See an analog design textbook for some specific examples but the gist of emitter follower's purpose in life is to transform a high output resistance signal source to achieve a signal with lower output resistance.
configurations of Common-source (CS), Common-drain (CD) or Source-follower (SF) and the Common-gate (CG) available for most FET devices. These three JFET amplifier configurations correspond to the common-emitter, emitter-follower and the common-base configurations using bipolar transistors.
