Configuration of MOSFET amplifier

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.
