Study Notes
Voltage Series Feedback Amplifier (Non-inverting Feedback Amplifier)
- A non-inverting amplifier configuration where the input signal is applied to the non-inverting terminal of the op-amp.
- Composed of an operational amplifier (op-amp) and a feedback circuit including two resistors, R1 and RF.
- The circuit enhances the stability and accuracy of voltage gain through feedback.
Key Definitions
- Open-loop Voltage Gain (A): Represents the voltage gain of the op-amp without feedback, calculated as A = vo/vid, where vo is the output voltage, and vid is the input differential voltage.
- Closed-loop Voltage Gain (AF): Represents the voltage gain with feedback, expressed as AF = vo/vin, where vin is the input voltage.
- Gain of the Feedback Circuit (B): Defined as B = vo/vf, where vf is the feedback voltage.
Feedback Mechanism
- Negative feedback is utilized, where the feedback voltage (vf) opposes the input voltage (vin), maintaining system stability.
- The relationship between input variables is articulated through Kirchhoff’s voltage equation: vid = vin - vf.
Operational Amplifier Dynamics
- The op-amp amplifies the difference between the input voltages (vin and feedback voltage vf).
- The presence of negative feedback allows for better control of the output voltage, reducing the impact of variations in op-amp gain.
Closed-Loop Configuration
- Closed-loop voltage gain AF can be determined using the equation: vo = A(v1 - v2), where v1 and v2 correspond to the non-inverting and inverting inputs, respectively.
- Negative feedback increases linearity and bandwidth while reducing distortion in amplifier circuits.
Engineering Resources
- Essential textbooks for further study include:
- Ramakant A. Gayakwad’s “Op-Amps and Linear Integrated Circuits” (2000)
- Sergio Franco’s “Design with Operational Amplifiers and Analog Integrated Circuits” (2002)
