Today we're diving into feedback configurations and their importance in analog circuits. Can anyone tell me what feedback means in this context?
Does feedback mean using the output to influence the input?
Exactly! Feedback allows us to control the behavior of the circuit. There are four configurations we can explore. Let's start with how we can classify these based on the type of signals used. Can anyone give me an example?
Like voltage and current signals?
Right! In fact, we have configurations for all combinations of voltage and current. Remember: 'VC' for voltage current, 'CV' for current voltage. This memory aid can help!
What about the different types of connections?
Good question! We mention sampling and mixing types, which can be series or shunt. This gives us names like shunt-series feedback. Can someone summarize what we've learned?
We learned about feedback types, signal types, and how they combine into conventions.
Great summary! Keep those configurations in mind as we dive deeper.

Now letβs focus on voltage feedback systems. Who can explain what happens when we sample voltage?
We sample it in shunt configuration, right?
Correct! Shunt sampling means we're connecting across the output. Can someone derive the formula for voltage gain in voltage feedback?
Is it A = Ξ²v?
Close! Itβs about mixing too. We apply v = v_in - v_feedback. Good job adjusting to how signal combinations work!
What if we want to avoid loading effects?
Great point! Thatβs why we consider ideal resistances, with R_input going to infinity and output resistance going to zero. What does that ensure?
It keeps the feedback without loading the signals.
Exactly! Letβs use these concepts for the next configurations.
Current Feedback Systems

Switching gears, we're exploring current feedback systems now. What do we remember about current sampling?
Itβs series sampling for the output, right?
Yes! And what about when we mix currents?
Thatβs in parallel to mix the signals.
Exactly! Hence it's called series-parallel feedback. Remember the current to current gain formula too. Can you summarize those resistances that avoid loading?
Input should ideally be zero and output should be infinite!
Perfect! Remember to apply these principles as we mix both voltage and current types next.
Naming Conventions in Feedback Systems

Let's discuss naming conventions used in feedback systems. Why is naming important in engineering?
It helps in understanding the structure and function of the system clearly.
Exactly! For example, can someone define shunt-series feedback for me?
Itβs shunt for sampling voltage and series for feedback mixing.
Well done! We have the similar symbiosis for current as well. When naming, ensure to include the type of mixer and sampler. Can someone give me another example?
Like series-shunt feedback, where you mix before sampling?
Spot on! Letβs carry this understanding into configurations involving both signal types.

In our final session, letβs summarize the key naming conventions across the configurations. Why do we keep these distinct?
To avoid confusion in applying different feedback principles.
"Exactly! To navigate this field effectively, you want to blend both signal understanding and naming. If we mix both concepts, what's critical?

Quick Overview
Standard
In this section, the author outlines the four possible configurations for feedback systems, detailing the conditions necessary for ideal performance. Attention is given to how input and output types (voltage or current) affect the configuration, and it explains the corresponding naming conventions for each configuration based on the types of samplers and mixers used.

Detailed Summary
This section explores the different configurations of feedback systems, particularly focusing on obtaining ideal conditions for voltage and current types of feedback. It introduces essential concepts such as voltage sampling and mixing and current sampling and mixing, explaining how these components interact to develop effective feedback circuits. The significance of naming conventions is addressed as well, highlighting the combination of sampling and mixing types to classify configurations. For instance, a configuration with voltage sampling and series mixing is termed 'shunt-series feedback', while one with current sampling and shunt mixing is labeled as 'series-shunt feedback'. This precise naming helps clarify the system's operation and facilitates communication within the field of electronics. The author emphasizes that understanding these configurations is crucial for designing effective electronic circuits.

In this case, as I said, that the input signal and output signal are say voltages. So, here we consider it is voltage here also it is voltage, so the signal here it is voltage and this is also voltage.
Detailed Explanation
This chunk introduces the basic model of a feedback system where both the input and output signals are voltages. Understanding the type of signals involved is crucial because it determines how we configure our feedback system.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a feedback system like a thermostat in your home. The input is the current temperature (voltage), and the output is the heating or cooling action (also represented as voltage). Both parts interact to ensure your home stays at a comfortable temperature.

So, that is why we say that voltage sampler at the output port it is having a parallel port. On the other hand, if you see signal here they are voltages, so our intention is to use these two voltages to generate this S or v.
Detailed Explanation
This chunk explains two key actions in feedback systems: sampling and mixing. The voltage sampler in a feedback network samples the output signal in a parallel manner. Mixing is about combining both the feedback voltage and the input voltage to generate a new signal, S.
Examples & Analogies
Consider a music mixing board where different audio signals (voltages) are blended together to create one output sound. The way these signals are combined will determine the quality of the final audio, similar to how feedback signals impact system behavior.

So, we have considered this ideal situation namely the resistance here it is β. So, I am keeping this open so, R it is β.
Detailed Explanation
In ideal feedback systems, we assume infinite input resistance and zero output resistance. This assumption helps in avoiding loading effects, ensuring that the feedback does not alter the circuit's operation significantly.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine trying to listen to music through a speaker system. If there's very little resistance in the wires (zero output resistance), your sound quality remains perfect, much like in the ideal feedback system. Conversely, if you had too much resistance, your music would sound muffled.

As you can see here we are summarizing the naming conventions again it may vary from textbook to textbook; but you should not get confused with different naming.
Detailed Explanation
This chunk emphasizes the importance of naming conventions in feedback systems. Each configuration has names based on its sampling and mixing methods, which can differ across various resources. Understanding these terms helps in grasping how feedback systems function.
Examples & Analogies
Think of naming as giving instructions in a recipe; different chefs might call the same dish by different names based on their cultural context. Similarly, feedback configurations can be referred to differently, but they aim to achieve the same goal in circuit design.

To compress it typically we use this word and this word. So, alternatively this configuration it can be named as shunt series feedback system or you may say that here the signal it was voltage, so we can say that this is voltage series feedback.
Detailed Explanation
In this chunk, we summarize how to refer specifically to feedback configurations based on their sampling and mixing techniques. For instance, 'shunt-series feedback' indicates the method of sampling and mixing employed.
Examples & Analogies
When discussing types of sandwiches, you might refer to a 'grilled cheese sandwich' (specific ingredients and cooking method) versus a 'toasted sandwich' (general preparation). Naming configurations in feedback circuits helps clarify the methods used.
