Why is the feedback network usually made from resistors rather than active components?

  • A.Active components would draw too much supply current
  • B.Resistors have a wider bandwidth than any device
  • C.Resistors introduce no phase shift at any frequency
  • D.Its accuracy sets the closed-loop gain directly

Answer: D

Since the closed-loop gain is the reciprocal of the fraction, the network's own accuracy appears in the answer with no reduction, so it must be built from the most predictable components available. Supply current is trivial either way, and neither the bandwidth nor the phase claim is strictly true, since stray reactances affect resistors too. The whole point of feedback is to transfer accuracy to the network, and that is only worthwhile if the network deserves the trust.
