In this circuit, the voltage divider holds the base voltage fixed (independent of base current), provided the divider current is large compared to the base current. However, even with a fixed base voltage, collector current varies with temperature (for example) so an emitter resistor is added to stabilize the Q-point, similar to the above circuits with emitter resistor. The voltage divider configuration achieves the correct voltages by the use of resistors in certain patterns. By manipulating the resistors in certain ways you can achieve more stable current levels without having β value affect it too much.

This situation is similar to that of an inverting op-amp circuit where the input impedance of the amplifier at the virtual earth is near zero and the overall input impedance is determined by the external series resistor. Due to the gain reduction from feedback, this biasing form is used only when the trade-off for stability is warranted. Adding an emitter resistor to this circuit will increase the input impedance

In this configuration, which is known as "voltage-shunt feedback', the output voltage is sensed and the feedback signal (a current) is applied in shunt (i.e., in parallel with the input). This means that the input impedance "looking into the base" is actually reduced. This can easily be verified by
