Re: VBC of npn transistor in common collector mode

OK. I hear you, and I hear Mr. Thompson.
I agree that emitter follower and common collector are one and the same.
I agree that I erred in calling my circuit "common collector."
As such, it is not emitter follower, either.

I'll go with Thompson's description, of "inverted transistor." And since I
believe the topology of the circuit has to be one of three choices, I'll now
choose "common emitter." INVERTED, of course.

That would seem to be correct ! :-)
