[!TLDR]

A common-collector amplifier takes its output from the emitter, which follows the base input in phase and magnitude; its voltage gain is nearly 1 but it has high input and low output impedance, so it acts as an impedance-matching buffer (emitter follower).

Circuit: an npn transistor with the collector as the common terminal (connected to +VCC+V_{CC}, AC ground). The base is biased by a voltage divider and the input signal is coupled to the base; the output is taken across the emitter resistor RER_E (there is no collector load resistor). The base-emitter junction is forward biased and the collector-base junction reverse biased. …
