Geat video, on first seeing the circuit my eyes were drawn to the positive feedback on the op amp, me thought, stable output, more like a demented pinball machine output, lol We are conditioned to seeing the terminals of bjts being shorted and just thinking temp compensation going on but the non inverting input being connected to the output made me hover over the delete trace on the schematic editor. like the way you teach, thank you so much. liked and sub'ed .

Can you please explain how the current through the positive supply voltage i.e. through 680 ohms reduces when voltage at inverting terminal is higher than the non inverting terminal?
Sure, this technique is similar to the Push-Pull design in ruclips.net/video/8BFzsi7-Vbs/видео.html. As I mentioned in the video around minute 3:50, the internal output stage inside the op amp looks similar to the NPN-PNP output stage of a power amplifier circuit (albeit with orders of magnitude less current). When voltage at inverting terminal of Op Amp is higher than the non inverting terminal, Op Amp immediately attempts to reduce its output voltage toward the negative supply voltage (in this case ground). This is achieved by reducing sourcing current from Vdd (hence reduced current through 680 ohms resistor) so that less current is provided to op amp output (resulting in reducing output voltage). This reduction of current through the 680 ohms translates to reduced voltage drop across 680 ohms resistor which means reduced voltage across the emitter-base PN junction of the main PNP BJT transistor. That translates to exponential reduction of the collector current of the main PNP transistor. which results in reduction of the voltage across the series of feedback resistors R3+R4 and hence reduced emitter voltage of the small NPN BJT transistor (which is effectively a Diode). The reduction of emitter voltage results in reduction of the voltage at the inverting terminal (counteracting the initial voltage increase) indicating a negative feedback. I hope this explanation is helpful
@@electroquests You are welcome. Thank you. Glad that this analog circuit video is interesting. To watch an alternative design of temperature compensated regulator circuit please see ruclips.net/video/NdfyHoxjKrY/видео.html which is Voltage Regulator designed with MOSFET, JFET transistors.
Good day Sir. Do you have any notes about a stability with using an open loop on an op amp in this schematic? It could easily oscillate in case of improperly selected/added/missed capacitors and their values IMHO.
Good day to you as well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. The Operational Amplifier in this circuit is wired in an overall closed loop negative feedback circuit scheme as explained in the video starting at 3:50. Nonetheless, to your point, depending on the selected Op Amp extra care is needed regarding any extra stablizing capacitors (say 10pF to 100pF) required between terminals of the selected op amp (as described in op amp datasheet).
I didn’t watch the entire video- did you mention what is advantageous about this circuit compared to a simple buffered voltage divider, other than temperature compensation?
Aside from temperature compensation, this circuit has a negative feedback loop that keeps the output voltage fixed at desired voltage while also providibg high current to the output load via PMOS transistor.

👍 Very nice! Thank you.
Using this principle you can create a push-pull stage of 2 bjts after the OpAmp. It works very stable.
