Hi,
Thanks Brad, I think I may go with a common base PNP as that way the buffer is only 1 BJT and 1 resistor (every additional component in that circuit subtracts from linearity over a temperature range), but want to check connecting it to another device won't affect desired 1V; and as with the emitter follower, I had to boost the input signal a little to cover losses across the PNP. I'll read a bit more today about discrete buffers anyway, and look into the emitter follower, possibly your solution is actually preferable, thanks.
