May 21, 2019 at 18:03 comment added The Photon @GaryKhaw, gain of one means that a 1 V change in the input produces a 1 V change in the output. It doesn't imply 0 difference between the two voltages.
May 21, 2019 at 18:02 comment added Gary Khaw @jonk HMM I always thought a gain of 1 means the Vin and Vout should be the same, and it is loading to a led module
May 21, 2019 at 17:45 comment added Indraneel There will always be a CE drop of about 0.2V or more. See fig 16 onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/2N3903-D.PDF The voltage drop of 0.7V is between base and emitter. This is why the NPN is usually operated in sink mode (emitter to ground, load between Vcc and collector)
May 21, 2019 at 17:44 comment added jonk It does appear to have a gain of 1. Why do you think it's not? And what is loading the emitter of Q1?
