Chapter 12 Feedback
Voltage quantities are sensed in parallel and current quantities in series. Voltage
quantities are summed in series and current quantities in parallel.
Depending on the type of the forward amplifier, four feedback topologies can be
constructed. The closed-loop gain of each is equal to the open-loop gain divided by
one plus the loop gain.
A negative-feedback loop sensing and regulating the output voltage lowers the output
impedance by a factor of one plus the loop gain, making the circuit a better voltage
source.
A negative-feedback loop sensing and regulating the output current raises the output
impedance by a factor of one plus the loop gain, making the circuit a better current
source.
A negative-feedback loop returning a voltage to the input raises the input impedance
by one plus the loop gain, making the circuit a better voltage sensor.
A negative-feedback loop returning a current to the input lowers the input impedance
by one plus the loop gain, making the circuit a better current sensor.
If the feedback network departs from its ideal model, then it loads the forward
amplifier characteristics. In this case, a methodical method must be followed that
included the effect of finite I/O impedances.
A high-frequency signal traveling through a forward amplifier experiences significant
phase shift. With several poles, it is possible that the phase shift reaches 180 .
A negative-feedback loop that introduces a large phase shift may become a positivefeedback loop at some frequency and begin to oscillate if the loop gain at that frequency is unity or higher.
To avoid oscillation, the gain crossover frequency must fall below the phase crossover
frequency.
Phase margin is defined as 180 minus the phase of the loop transmission at the gain
crossover frequency.
To ensure a well-behaved time and frequeny response, a negative-feedback system
must realize sufficient phase margin, e.g., 60 .
If a feedback circuit suffers from insufficient phase margin, then it must be frequencycompensated. The most common method is to lower the dominant pole so as to reduce the gain crossover frequency (without changing the phase profile). This typically
requires adding a large capacitor from the dominant pole node to ground.
To lower the dominant pole, one can exploit Miller multiplication of capacitors.
