Introduction
It’s impossible to think of electronic circuits without some forms of feedback.
Negative feedback Desensitize the gain Reduce nonlinear distortion Reduce the effect of noise Control the input and output impedance Extend the bandwidth of the amplifier
The basic idea of negative feedback is to trade off between gain and other desirable properties.
Positive feedback will cause the amplifier oscillation.

PartI: The basic concept and some Properties of negative feedback
This is a signal-flow diagram, and the quantities x represent either voltage or current signals.
In electronic circuits, part of or all output signal is fed back to input, and affects the input signal value, which is called feedback.
8.1 The General Feedback Structure
SJTU Yang HuaMicroelectronic Circuits
The feedback judgment for amplifier circuits
SJTU Yang HuaMicroelectronic Circuits
Negative feedback and positive feedback :According to the effecting of feedback1) positive feedback increases the signal that appears at the input of the basic amplifier2) negative feedback reduces the signal that appears at the input of the basic amplifier
DC feedback and AC feedback :1) Feedback quantity only contains DC quantity, is called DC feedback2) Feedback quantity only contains AC quantity, is called AC feedbackUsually AC feedback and DC feedback are concomitant

The feedback judgment :
(a) No feedback(b) Feedback exists(c) No feedback
SJTU Yang HuaMicroelectronic Circuits
Instantaneous polarity method :
The judgment of feedback parity
1) Regulate the polarity of input signal relative to ground at sometime.
2) Decide all points’ parity step by step, at last get the parity of output signal.3) According to the parity of output signal decides the parity of amount of feedback.
4) If amount of feedback increases the signal that appears at the input of the basic amplifier, the circuit inducts the positive feedback. Otherwise, it inducts the negative feedback.

If Aβ >>1, The gain of the feedback amplifier is almost entirely determined by the feedback network. If Aβ >>1, which implies that the signal Xi at the input of the basic amplifier is reduced to almost zero.

the percentage change in Af (due to variations in some circuit parameter) is smaller than the percentage change in A by the amount of feedback. For this reason the amount of feedback, 1 + Aβ, is also known as the desensitivity factor.

Some Properties of Negative Feedback
Note that the amplifier bandwidth is increased by the same factor by which its midband gain is decreased, maintaining the gain-bandwidth product at a constant value.

summary
SJTU Yang HuaMicroelectronic Circuits
The method of finding A circuit
① h,z,r,g parameter method for two-port feedback network.
② Equivalent circuit method: Find the feedback network; Find the feedback network equivalent load Resistance to amplif
ier input, for output voltage sampling feedback, output short-circuit (Vo=0); for current sampling feedback, output Io open-circuit (Io=0).
Find the feedback network equivalent load Resistance to amplifier output, for input voltage mixing feedback, it should be disconnected from input to feedback network (Ii=0); for input current mixing feedback, let input connect to ground to disconnect from input signal to feedback network.
Any right-half-plane poles results in instability. Amplifier with a single-pole is unconditionally stable. Amplifier with two-pole is also unconditionally stable. Amplifier with more than two poles has the possibility
1) If ω180 is not exist, then the Amplifier is stable;2) If ω180 is exist and ω180< ω1, then the amplifier is not stable;3) If ω180 is exist and ω180> ω1, then the amplifier is stable;

Gain margin represents the amount by which the loop gain can be increased while stability is maintained.
Unstable and oscillatory
Stable and non-oscillatory
Only when the phase margin exceed 45º or gain margin exceed 6dB, can the amplifier be stable.

Stability Analysis Using Bode Plot of |A|
Gain margin and phase margin The horizontal line of inverse of feedback factor in dB. A rule of thumb:
The closed-loop amplifier will be stable if the 20log(1/β) line intersects the 20log|A| curve at a point on the –20dB/decade segment.
The general rule states:
At the intersection of 20log[1/ | β (jω)| ] and 20log |A(jω)| the difference of slopes should not exceed 20dB/decade.
