|  | 1. | The output is buffered by a common emitter amplifier. 
 
 | 
|  | 2. | The heart of an I2L circuit is the common emitter open collector inverter. 
 
 | 
|  | 3. | The common emitter voltage follows this change and goes down thus making Q1 conduct more. 
 
 | 
|  | 4. | All amplifier stages used common emitter amplifiers. 
 
 | 
|  | 5. | As a result, the common emitter resistor R E acts nearly as a current source. 
 
 | 
|  | 6. | For a medium source impedance, a common emitter or common source topology may be used. 
 
 | 
|  | 7. | Often a common base is used in this manner, preceded by a common emitter stage. 
 
 | 
|  | 8. | As a result, the common emitter voltage and Q1 collector voltage follow the input voltage. 
 
 | 
|  | 9. | The load line diagram at right is for a transistor connected in a common emitter circuit. 
 
 | 
|  | 10. | In this case, the common emitter voltage and Q1 collector voltage are not suitable for outputs.
