To get very high gain, the circuit becomes prone to oscillating due to the inherent capacitance of the photodiode, so there’s a damping capacitor in the feedback loop. To avoid slamming rail to ...

The demand for analog and mixed-signal-based integrated circuits (ICs) has surged due to the increasing reliance on electronic-based applications across industries. As the world transitions to more ...

This feedback loop can generate self-sustained oscillation if its overall gain is larger than the loss and the circulating waves can be combined in phase. The OEO architecture is quite versatile ...

Professor Danielle George demonstrates what feedback loops are by asking a child to match the note that she plays on a swanee whistle. She explains how the child must listen to the note and adjust ...

Kaboom! The first time most of us hear the sound of an explosion is in the movies. Encountering the sound in the real world—even at a distance—has a profoundly different effect. Why? It's all about ...
