  2. Negative-feedback amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative-feedback_amplifier

    A negative-feedback amplifier (or feedback amplifier) is an electronic amplifier that subtracts a fraction of its output from its input, so that negative feedback opposes the original signal. [1] The applied negative feedback can improve its performance (gain stability, linearity, frequency response, step response ) and reduces sensitivity to ...

  3. Operational amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_amplifier

    An op amp with negative feedback (a non-inverting amplifier) If predictable operation is desired, negative feedback is used, by applying a portion of the output voltage to the inverting input. The closed-loop feedback greatly reduces the gain of the circuit. When negative feedback is used, the circuit's overall gain and response is determined ...

  4. Negative feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_feedback

    A simple negative feedback system is descriptive, for example, of some electronic amplifiers. The feedback is negative if the loop gain AB is negative.. Negative feedback (or balancing feedback) occurs when some function of the output of a system, process, or mechanism is fed back in a manner that tends to reduce the fluctuations in the output, whether caused by changes in the input or by ...

  5. Operational amplifier applications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_amplifier...

    This article illustrates some typical operational amplifier applications. Operational amplifiers are optimised for use with negative feedback, and this article discusses only negative-feedback applications. When positive feedback is required, a comparator is usually more appropriate.

  6. Frequency compensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_compensation

    That is, the feedback is then positive rather than negative. Frequency compensation is implemented to avoid this result. Another goal of frequency compensation is to control the step response of an amplifier circuit as shown in Figure 1. For example, if a step in voltage is input to a voltage amplifier, ideally a step in output voltage would occur.

  7. Schmitt trigger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmitt_trigger

    It is a system with positive feedback in which the output signal fed back into the input causes the amplifier A to switch rapidly from one saturated state to the other when the input crosses a threshold. A > 1 is the amplifier gain B < 1 is the feedback transfer function. Circuits with hysteresis are based on positive feedback.

  8. Differential amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_amplifier

    Differential amplifiers are found in many circuits that utilize series negative feedback (op-amp follower, non-inverting amplifier, etc.), where one input is used for the input signal, the other for the feedback signal (usually implemented by operational amplifiers). For comparison, the old-fashioned inverting single-ended op-amps from the ...

  9. Differentiator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiator

    A differentiator circuit (also known as a differentiating amplifier or inverting differentiator) consists of an ideal operational amplifier with a resistor R providing negative feedback and a capacitor C at the input, such that: is the voltage across C (from the op amp's virtual ground negative terminal).
