This lecture covers the operation of a source follower stage, explaining how to achieve high voltage gain by using a large load impedance. The concept of a voltage buffer to drive low-impedance loads is introduced, with detailed analysis of the source follower's behavior in different scenarios. The small signal model of the source follower is also discussed, highlighting the importance of input and output impedance matching for optimal performance.
