For NPN open collector outputs, the emitter of the NPN transistor is internally connected to ground, [1] so the NPN open collector internally forms either a short-circuit (technically low impedance or "low-Z") connection to the low voltage (which could be ground) when the transistor is switched on, or an open-circuit (technically high impedance ...
Simplified cross section of a planar NPN bipolar junction transistor. BJTs consists of three differently doped semiconductor regions: the emitter region, the base region and the collector region. These regions are, respectively, p type, n type and p type in a PNP transistor, and n type, p type and n type in an NPN transistor.
The heart of an I2L circuit is the common emitter open collector inverter. Typically, an inverter consists of an NPN transistor with the emitter connected to ground and the base biased with a forward current from the current source. The input is supplied to the base as either a current sink (low logic level) or as a high-z floating condition ...
Darlington Transistor (NPN-type) In electronics, a Darlington configuration (commonly called as a Darlington pair) is a circuit consisting of two bipolar transistors with the emitter of one transistor connected to the base of the other, such that the current amplified by the first transistor is amplified further by the second one.

English: A diagram showing the Early effect, or base-width modulation, in an NPN BJT.When the collector voltage is raised relative to the base and emitter (i.e. the collector-base junction's reverse bias is increased), the depletion region (hashed area) at the collector-base junction widens and the effective width (W eff) of the base is reduced.
Figure 4: NPN voltage follower with current source biasing suitable for integrated circuits. The common collector amplifier's low output impedance allows a source with a large output impedance to drive a small load impedance without changing its voltage. Thus this circuit finds applications as a voltage buffer.
Energy band diagram of a simple NPN w:bipolar junction transistor in forward-active mode showing electron energy versus position. The w:depletion regions of the emitter-base and base-collector junctions are marked.
This configuration holds the transistor's collector voltage roughly constant, thus making the base to collector gain zero and hence (ideally) removing the Miller effect. Using a differential amplifier topology like an emitter follower driving a grounded-base amplifier; as long as the emitter follower is truly a common-collector amplifier , the ...
