 Operational Amplifier Feedback Configurations

Op-Amp can be operated in following configurations

Configuration Feed back Output Type of Output Region of Operation
Open loop configuration without F.B Output is always Saturated Non linear Saturated Region
Positive F.B (+ve F.B) Output is always Saturated Non linear Saturated Region
Negative F.B (-ve F.B) Non-saturated Linear Linear Region
Op-Amp as Comparator (non inverting)

O/P is Linear
True:
Vin <= V+ or V-
i.e VDD/AOL or VEE/AOL

Output will be “+ve” as long as V- is smaller than V+ OR Point of transition

Output will be “+ve” as long as Vin is smaller than VH(R1/(R1+R2)) here id VTU

Output will be “-ve” as long as V- is greater than V+ OR VL

Point of transition
Output will be “-ve” as long as Vin is greater than VH(R1/(R1+R2)) here id VLU
