Voltage shunt Feedback:

Fig. 1, shows the voltage shunt feedback amplifier using OPAMP.



Fig. 1
The input voltage drives the inverting terminal, and the amplified as well as inverted output
signal is also applied to the inverting input via the feedback resistor R
f
. This arrangement forms a
negative feedback because any increase in the output signal results in a feedback signal into the
inverting input signal causing a decrease in the output signal. The non-inverting terminal is
grounded. Resistor R
1
is connected in series with the source.
The closed loop voltage gain can be obtained by, writing Kirchoff's current equation at the input
node V
2
.

The negative sign in equation indicates that the input and output signals are out of phase by 180.
Therefore it is called inverting amplifier. The gain can be selected by selecting R
f
and R
1
(even <
1).
Inverting Input at Virtual Ground:
In the fig. 1, shown earlier, the noninverting terminal is grounded and the- input signal is applied
to the inverting terminal via resistor R
1
. The difference input voltage v
d
is ideally zero, (v
d
=v
O
/
A) is the voltage at the inverting terminals (v
2
) is approximately equal to that of the noninverting
terminal (v
1
). In other words, the inverting terminal voltage (v
1
) is approximately at ground
potential. Therefore, it is said to be at virtual ground.

equivalent of the feedback resistor
R

, is obtained, i.e. R
f
is splitted
into its two Miller components as
shown in fig. 2. Therefore, input
resistance with feedback R

Output Resistance with Feedback:
The output resistance with

Similarly, the bandwidth increases
by (1+AB) and total output offset
voltage reduces by (1+AB).
