Negative Feedback
The negative feedback amplifier is an electronic amplifier in which the feedback energy
(Voltage or Current) is out of phase with input signal and thus opposes it. Negative feedback
reduces gain. It also reduces distortion, noise and instability. This feedback increases bandwidth
and improves input and output impedance.
Four types of negative feedback
Voltage controlled voltage source (VCVS)
Current controlled voltage source (ICVS)
Voltage controlled current source (VCIS)
Current controlled current source (ICIS)

Active Filter
A filter is circuit capable of passing certain frequencies while attenuating other frequencies.
Thus a filter can extract desired frequency signal and rejects undesirable frequencies. Active filter is
type of filter which consists of active element like transistor, vacuum tubes and op-amps along with
passive elements like resistors and capacitors.
There are 5 types of filers based on their frequency responses (The frequency response is
graph of voltage gain vs frequency) as follows.
1. Low pass filter 2. High pass filter 3. Band pass filter
4. Band stop filter 5. All pass filter
Low Pass Filter
High Pass Filter
Bandpass Filter
Bandstop Filter
All Pass filter
First Order Stage(Filter)
First Order low pass stage(filter)
First Order High Pass Stages(filter)
VCVS Unity gain second order low pass filters
Sallen-key second order low pass filter
These filters also called VCVS filters because the op amp is used as a voltage controlled voltage
source.
Butterworth and Bessel response
VCVS Equal Component low pass filter
VCVS High pass filter
MFB(Multi feedback) Band pass filter
Wide band filter
Narrow Band filter
