US Patent 7279970 Feedback circuit

For reducing various adverse effects due to provision of a low-pass filter, while suppressing an oscillation generated therein, there is provide a feedback circuit, having at least one operational amplifier, having a low-pass filter in an output portion thereof, for feeding a signal from the output portion back thereto, including: a first feedback circuit portion for negatively feeding a signal from an input terminal of the low-pass filter back to an inverted input terminal of the operational amplifier; and a second feedback circuit portion for negatively feeding a signal from an output terminal of the low-pass filter back to the inverted input terminal of the operational amplifier. In such the structure, the second feedback circuit portion is preferably provided with two sets of a first feedback operational amplifier and a second feedback operational amplifier, and the first feedback operational amplifier has a non-inverted input terminal connected to a predetermined input signal and has an inverted input terminal connected to the output terminal of the low-pass filter.
