OK, I get the common emitter, common collector and common base configurations according to the transistoramp amplifier design software I downloaded.

But there seems to be a bewildering array of variations on this theme. Some where collector resistor is not used, some where the emitter resistor is not used, some where only one of the base resistors is used, some where the base resistor is in series and some where the base resistor and collector resistor are arranged in the same way as for a non-inverting amplifier with an opamp.

How do you know which is the most appropriate variation on the transistoramp arrangement for a given situation?
