THEORY:
A negative-feedback amplifier (or feedback amplifier) is
an electronic amplifier that subtracts a fraction of its output from its input, so
that negative feedback opposes the original signal. An idealized negative-feedback
amplifier as shown in the diagram is a system of three elements:

• An amplifier with gain AOL,

• A feedback network β, which senses the output signal and possibly transforms it in
some way (for example by attenuating or filtering it),
• A summing circuit that acts as a subtractor (the circle in the figure), which
combines the input and the transformed output.
Depending upon these three elements there are four types of feedback
amplifier and we will be studying Voltage Series & Current Series Feedback Amplifier.
It is also known as series current feedback, operates as a voltage-current controlled
feedback system. In the series, current configuration, the feedback error signal is
in series with the input and is proportional to the load current, IOUT. Actually, this type
of feedback converts the current signal into a voltage which is actually fed back and it
is this voltage which is subtracted from the input.
For the series-series connection, the configuration is defined as the output
current, IOUT to the input voltage, VIN. Because the output current, IOUT of the series
connection is fed back as a voltage, this increases both the input and output impedances
of the system. Therefore, the circuit works best as a transconductance amplifier with
the ideal input resistance, RIN being very large, and the ideal output
resistance, ROUT is also very large.
Then the “series-series feedback configuration” functions as transconductance type
amplifier system as the input signal is a voltage and the output signal is a current. Then
for a series-series feedback circuit the transfer gain is given as:
GM = IOUT ÷ VIN
