Feedback in used in an op-amp to limit and control the gain. An op-amp, by itself, has very high gain, often more than 100,000. (A theoretical op-amp has infinite gain.) The external feedback loop forms a divider, more correctly a bridge, that is maintained in balance by the op-amp, giving the desired real gain.

What is feedback resistance and what is it's use?

Feedback resistance is used to feed back the current obtained at output back into the circuit. Thus a virtual ground concept is developed.this is majorly used in applications of OPAMP[IC 741].


Is opamp a linear device?

A: It should be that is the normal operating mode. To be linear it strongly depends on negative feedback to maintain it into that linear region. By itself without any feedback it is very unstable due to the hi gain open loop availability


Why open loop configuration of opamp not used in linear applications?

Open loop means max amplification of an amplifier. if the open loop is very it will probably oscillate since there is not a feedback to control it or it will go to one rail of the other saturated

What are the two basic configurations in operational amplifier?

opamp is a device used to amplify ac as well as DC input signals. It is called as operational amp becoz it is used to perform all mathematical operations. Symbol of opamp indicates the direction of current.


Are the OP AMPS always linear?

not when they hit the power rail they aren't. or did you mean an opamp in a feedback circuit? the feedback circuit can give them a wide variety of transfer functions, some linear some nonlinear. nonlinear transfer functions include LOG, ANTILOG, GYRATION, SQRT, etc.


Similarity between opamp and comparator?

A comparator is simply an opamp with a certain configuation of external circuitry ( a few components) that make it function as a comparator.


What feedback is used in amplifier?
