Feedback Resistance: How Much to Use?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around determining the appropriate feedback resistance in a current-to-voltage conversion circuit, focusing on how resistance values relate to gain. Participants explore different resistance values and their implications for circuit performance.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Mathematical reasoning

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions how much feedback resistance to use, suggesting 100 microOhms as a possible value.
  • Another participant proposes that the feedback resistance depends on the desired gain, implying a relationship between resistance and gain.
  • A third participant asserts that the gain of the current-to-voltage stage is influenced by the resistance, indicating that 100 microOhms is likely incorrect.
  • A later reply specifies that if the resistor in the circuit is 10k ohms and a gain of 10 is desired, then a feedback resistor of 100k ohms would be necessary.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the appropriate values for feedback resistance, with no consensus reached on a specific resistance value. Some participants agree that resistance is related to gain, while others challenge the initial suggestion of 100 microOhms.

Contextual Notes

There are assumptions regarding the circuit configuration and the definitions of gain and resistance that are not fully explored in the discussion.

I think I find the answer, it depends on how much gain I want then I use how much resistance for the feedback resistance.

The answer can be found from here.
 
Yes, the gain of the current-to-voltage stage depends on the resistance. It's definitely not 100 microOhms, though. That's probably a typo in your first post.
 
From the picture, the resistor is 10k ohm, so if I want to have a gain of 10, the feedback resistor has to be 100k.

I know already. thanks for your reply.
