Beware that there is a “dead band” when V<sub>in</sub> is between 0.7V and -0.7V, because the voltage has not pass the cutoff voltage for either transistor. This is known as '''crossover distortion'''.

Push-Pull Follower

If we put two emitter followers together (npn transistor for positive voltages; pnp transistor for negative voltages), we get a push-pull follower.

If > 0.7V, then the current is amplified by the npn transistor.

If < -0.7V, then the current is amplified by the pnp transistor.

Beware that there is a "dead band" when Vin is between 0.7V and -0.7V, because the voltage has not pass the cutoff voltage for either transistor. This is known as crossover distortion.
