Question 1

What is the formula for calculating Zinf in series feedback configurations?

  • Zinf = Zin (1 + AβF)
  • Zinf = Zin / (1 + AβF)
  • Zinf = 1 + AβF Zin

💡 Hint: Think about how current flows with feedback.

Question 2

True or False: Shunt feedback increases the input resistance of an amplifier.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how input currents behave in shunt feedback.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider an amplifier with an open-loop input impedance of 1 MΩ and a feedback factor of 0.005 in a series connection. Calculate the input resistance Zinf. Explain how the result would change if shunt feedback was applied instead.

💡 Hint: Calculate first, then use the feedback topology to explain the difference.

Question 2

You have a voltage amplifier designed for a sensor with high output impedance. Define appropriate feedback topology and justify your choice based on Zinf calculations. What would happen if shunt topology is incorrectly applied?

💡 Hint: Think about how the feedback informs the interface with the sensor.
