Transcript Op Amps I

Feedback • Feedback: Taking a portion of the output and feeding it back to the input • Positive feedback: Feedback signal is in phase with the input signal – Oscillations (good and bad) – Increase circuit gain • Negative feedback: Feedback signal is out of phase with the input signal – Used in almost all practical amplifiers – Pros: Increased circuit stability against fluctuations (including temp. changes), increased

Z

in , decreased

Z

out , decreased signal distortion, higher frequency range for constant gain – Cons: Decreased circuit gain (feedback reduces input)

Op Amp “Golden Rules” I.

The output

attempts

to do whatever is necessary to make the voltage difference between the two inputs zero (consequence of very high voltage gain).

II.

The inputs draw “no” current (consequence of very high input impedance).

(Note that these rules hold only if there is external negative feedback.)
