FEEDBACK CONNECTION
TYPES :
There are four basic ways of connecting the feedback signal. Both
voltage and current can be fed back to the input either in series or
parallel. Specifically, there can be :
1. Voltage-series feedback
2. Voltage-shunt feedback
3. Current-series feedback
4. Current-shunt feedback
In the list above, voltage refers to connecting the output voltage as
input to the feedback network: current refers to tapping off some
output current through the feedback network.
Series refers to connecting the feedback signal in series with the input
signal voltage: shunt refers to connecting the feedback signal in shunt
(parallel) with an input current source.
VOLTAGE-SERIES FEEDBACK
In the voltage series feedback circuit, a fraction of the
output voltage fed back in series with the input voltage
through the feedback circuit. This is also known as
shunt-driven series-fed feedback, i.e., a parallel-series
circuit.
VOLTAGE-SHUNT FEEDBACK
In the voltage shunt feedback circuit, a fraction of the
output voltage is applied in parallel with the input
voltage through the feedback network. This is also
known as shunt-driven shunt-fed feedback i.e., a
parallel-parallel
CURRENT-SERIES FEEDBACK
In the current series feedback circuit, a fraction of the
output voltage is applied in series with the input
voltage through the feedback circuit. This is also
known as series-driven series-fed feedback i.e., a
series-series circuit.
CURRENT-SHUNT FEEDBACK
In the current shunt feedback circuit, a fraction of the
output voltage is applied in parallel with the input
voltage through the feedback circuit. This is also
known as series-driven shunt-fed feedback i.e., a
series-parallel circuit.
GAIN WITH VOLTAGE-SERIES FEEDBACK
If there is no feedback (i.e. V=0), the voltage of the
f
amplifier is
A = VO / VS = VO / Vi
f
If a feedback signal, Vis connected in series with
f
the input, then
Vi VS VF
Since, V AV A(V - V ) AV - A(V )
O i s f s o
Then (1 A)V AV o s
so that the overall voltage gain with feedback is
Above equation shows that the gain with feedback is the
amplifier gain reduced by the factor (1 A) .
INPUT IMPEDENCE
The input impedance of voltage series feedback can be determined as follows:
Ii V/Zi (VS Vf ) / Zi (VS Vo ) / Zi (VS AV i ) / Zi
Vs IiZi AV i IiZi AIiZi
The input impedance with series feedback is seen to be the value of the input
impedance without feedback multiplied by the factor (1 A) .
OUTPUT IMPEDENCE
The output impedance is determined by applying a voltage, V, resulting in a current, I, with
VS out ( =0).VThe
shorted S voltage V is then
V IZo AV i
For VS =0, Vi Vf
V IZo AV f IZo A V
solving above equation for the output resistance with feedback, we get:
