to anyone who is confused at why dividing by AOL then have patience for 2 to 3 minutes, actually this act of dividing is being done to see equivalently how it affects the voltage difference between positive and negative terminal of op amp. rest is in the video itself , thankyou from Bihar, India

[@rationalthinker9612]

So glad you made this video. My textbook fucking sucks. It literally makes all of these claims without proving or showing how it arrived at these statements. I need to see why something is as stated, not just take it for granted. Your videos are the background info so many of us really need, thank you good sir.

12:23 diode D1 is conducting some forward current flows through it. Then the current will pass through D2 also isn't it? Then how D2 won't conduct? Which path does current from D1 will follow?

[@jatinsaini4787]

Your analysis methods are sometimes get way too vague leaving so many doubts.Please while making assumptions provide a little more information like in this video you assumed the voltage (V_) to be 0V(while analysing the circuit for negative input ) now if one goes by the virtual ground concept, one gets confused how can it happen when V+ has to be V- ( and V+ is Vin).

how did you write the effective voltage drop across the diode in closedloop configuration as Vf/ openloop gain .. tiem 4:10 sec in the video

[@gishasree3905]

Really a variety approach is taken to explain.... Very nice 👌👌👌

[@vanhoangtran8783]

I don't understand in the case 12:21 when V_in > 0 there is the current passing from the point of 0V through D1 and to the point of -0.7V while this circuit isn't closed ?

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

Although it seems, the circuit is not complete through an external resistors, but the current flowing through D1 will go through an internal circuits of the op-amp. And the path will get completed through an internal circuit components of the op-amp. I hope, it will clear your doubt.

[@MrGargamel1198]

11:58 Why is Vo equal to 0? Is it because there's a negative voltage at the anode of the second diode? I don't see how it would be 0 if Vo is connected to ground through 2 different resistors. Wouldn't the voltage drop across those resistors?

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

Think it as if two passive resistors are connected at one end, and the other end of both resistor is connected to the ground. In that case, the voltage at the common node (where both resistors are connected ) would be 0 V. I hope, it will clear your doubt.

[@gameaholicaf7316]

Sir , how does the effective voltage drop get divided by open loop gain 4:22

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

The diode is connected at the output of the op-amp in the feedback configuration. So, the effect of this diode drop on the input will be equal to Vf / Av. So, from the input side perspective, it behaves like an ideal diode. I hope it will clear your doubt.

[@rvmih]

@@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS Dear Sir, I really appreciate your effort on making such good teaching videos. Regarding your explanation, I understood (hopefully) the assumptions you made, and seems normally that the voltage across the diode to be as minimum as possible in order that the circuit to behave as a voltage follower (when Vin > 0). However, can you point me a further reading resource on how this is achieved knowing that the silicon diode (in this case) has to consume at least 0.7V in order to close the circuit (to be seen as a voltage follower)? Should I think on some very fast time changing states of the internal opamp circuitry, that somehow balances this overall steady state? Or in fact, the diode really stays around 0V, as in practice there will still be a very small current passing through it and in this fashion closing the circuit? Thank you for your attention! Best regards,

[@Megabyte403]

[@kevinhelms1472]

I don't understand how the open loop gain can be used to prove the diode's forward voltage doesn't effect the output voltage when the op amp is closed loop. Can anyone explain?

[@SaurabhKumar-gc1ko]

at 4:25 why effective voltage drop found out by dividing by open loop gain ?

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

It is in the closed loop configuration. The concept which was used to establish the concept of virtual ground is used here. Just after 4:25 in next 2-3 mins,I have explained that.

[@SaurabhKumar-gc1ko]

@@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS thanks for replying sir

[@SaurabhKumar-gc1ko]

@@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS sir at 11:30 you said that opamp is operated in linear region and we can apply the concept of virtual ground so my doubt is that if it was not in linear region then could we apply or not the concept of virtual short plz reply sir

[@vnr699]

First of all, Thank you for a great video. If I understood correctly, the purpose of explaining the super diode circuit is to demonstrate how the assumption that the diode in the negative feedback loop is approximately ideal can be justified, with its voltage drop being negligible. Thanks to this assumption, the problem of the simple half-wave rectifier circuit is resolved. However, in the explanation of the super diode circuit, it is not clear to me how you derived the expression for V_F' . Is the V_F' actually a representation of the V_{in} voltage, where when you showed that V_F' is approximately zero, it means that a slightly greater input voltage than 0V is required for the diode to conduct? And this is derived from the general expression for any operational amplifier, which is V_{IN} = V_{out}/{A_{OL} ? Additionally, if you made such an assumption, why did you then use the value of V_F and not V_F' in the expression for V_{out}' ? Thus, the assumption that the diode is approximately ideal is not reflected here. I appreciate if you could explain that.

[@mukun8an]

Well explained... Thank you very much.

[@ogbuddha7835]

12:34 can't we use inverting opamp Vout formula? : Vout=-(Rf/R1) Vin?

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

The diodes are also in the feedback loop.

[@raza8830]

Sir, during positive half cycle output voltage is positive. So, diode should be reverse biased, because positive terminal connected to n side of diode?

[@electronicslecturesbygulsh3799]

Good one sir.... I m also a teacher of electronic gate net jam

[@Shoron09]

Sir, at 1st case, we assume the diode is conducting, but after the explanation, you said, only when Vin>0, then the diode is conducting. But, why? First we assume, and the we prove vin=vout. But, how can we say that??

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

To prove that case, you need to take some assumption. With that assumption if you are getting correct answer that means your assumption is correct.

[@curiosity551]

Let me try to explain. Stop the video at 3:09 and look at the circuit. As you asked, why should not diode conduct only when Vin is negative? Well if Vin is negative, output from the op amp will be negative too. This will reverse bias the diode and current cannot sink in through output. Since Vout is connected to ground through resistor, output voltage will also be zero.

[@noweare1]

@@curiosity551 When vin>0 diode is forward biased and we have negative feeback and Vout is fed back to negative input. Op amp action makes the inputs the same so Vin=Vout . Difference between inputs is 0 volts. When Vin less than ground the op-amps output goes to negative supply voltage and diode is reversed bias and Vout = 0 because there is no negative feeback since diode is reversed biased (open circuited) . The output resistor pulls vout to ground since there is no current.

[@justadreamerforgood69]

[@dragonball-ow2ke]

Why we have taken open loop gain when you have connected the op amp in feedback configuration. Shouldn't you have divided the drop with closed loop gain

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

Yes, it is a part of the modification. (To restrict the output of the op-amp from going into the saturation)

[@noweare1]

[@SHREEdharSimple]

Sir Why Virtual Ground only for -ve feedback ?

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

Because the concept of virtual ground is applicable whenever the op-amp is used in the linear region. When the positive feedback is used then op-amp is not operating in the linear region.

[@swapnilgautam5252]

why (V(0) + 0.7V ) / A(OL) = 0 at 6:52

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

Because the open loop gain of the op-amp is very high. Typically 10^5 to 10^6. So, (Vo + 0.7V)/ Aol will approximately equal to zero.

[@PriyankaKumari-bi1if]

Can anyone explain how at 8.16time .. The voltage should be negative

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

Here we are assuming that the diode is in the reverse biased condition and hence acts as an open circuit. For the diode to be in a reverse-biased condition the voltage at the anode should be less than the cathode. Here, in that condition, the voltage at the cathode is zero. That means the diode will remain in the reverse bias condition when the voltage at the anode is negative. Or in other words, the output of the op-amp is negative. And it will happen when the input Vin is negative. (Because in that condition, the output of the op-amp will be negative saturation voltage as it is operating as a comparator in the open loop condition). I hope this will clear your doubt.

[@martinmartinmartin2996]
