How can I break the feedback loop network and add loading effect
Here is the circuit schematic.
Consider Loading effect in feedback and break the loop.
Simplify the circuit.
$$A_{v,open} = \frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}} = -\frac{g_{m1} R_F R_D} {R_S +R_F}$$
Calculate \$...

How can I eliminate the paralleling effect of ADC input impedance at the output of sensor sense resistor?
I am using a sensor that gives 5V output However, the ADC I am using can sense only a 3.3V at absolute maximum. A very simple way of translating a 5V to 3.3V was to use a voltage divider as shown. ...

Does the burden resistance at the output of a current sensor (either Hall effect or current) represent the output impedance of the sensor?
I need to measure current though a sensor and feed it to the ADC of a micro-controller. The ADC input voltage range does not match the sensor's output voltage range. I searched and found that op-amps ...
