Does anyone know how to calculate the transfer function for this circuit if Vref is the input an Vo the output? Thank you

    \$\begingroup\$ Use superposition: [Vref(1+Z2/Z1)+Vout*(-Z2/Z1)]*G=Vout \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$

The transfer function of such a system with feedback can be found using the general formula

Vout/Vin=H(forward)/(1-loop gain).

In you case:

Vout/Vref=G(s)(1+Z2/Z1)/[1-G(s)(-Z2/Z1)*H(s)]

If H(s) is not existent set H(s)=1.

  • \$\begingroup\$ As you can see from the final transfer function formula, H(forward) is the forward gain between input and output without any feedback. \$\endgroup\$
