When the input signal is large, a source follower has
A)a small distortion.
B)a voltage gain of less than one.
C)a high input resistance.
D)All of the above.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A source follower, by design, has a voltage gain slightly less than one due to the voltage drop across the source-gate junction, inherently possesses a high input resistance because the input is applied to the gate of a MOSFET or the base of a BJT, both of which draw minimal current, and typically exhibits small distortion for large input signals as it operates in the linear region of the transistor's characteristics.
