Summing/ Adder
Theory:
1. Subtractor
The circuit in which the output voltage is the subtraction of two input voltages is the
Subtarctor. Such circuit is obtained by using basic differential amplifier configuration.
The expression for the output voltage can be obtained by writing the Superposition
theorem.
Analysis
Then the circuit becomes inverting amplifier the output voltage due to only Va is denoted by
VOa. as
VOa=-RF/R1 (Va)
The the circuit becomes non-inverting amplifier the output voltage due to Vb is denoted by
VOb. as
V1=[RF/(RF+R1)]*Vb
VOb=(1+RF/R1)*[RF/(RF+R1)]V1
VOb=(RF/R1)V1
By combining these two outputs we get the output voltage of the difference amplifier as ,
VO = VOa + VOb
VO= ( RF/R1 ) [ Vb – Va ]
The values of RF and R1 selected equal then the output voltage is proportional difference
between the two inputs signals.
The circuit in which the output voltage is the summation of all non-inverting terminal
Voltage and –ve summation of all inverting terminal voltages.
The expression for the output voltage can be obtained by writing the Superposition
theorem.
Analysis
Assume the only Va supply acting and remaining Vb, Vc, Vd equals to Zero.=0
Then the circuit becomes inverting amplifier the output voltage due to only Va is denoted by
VOa. As
VOa=-R1/R1 (Va)
VOa=-Va
Assume the only Vb supply acting and remaining Va, Vc, Vd equals to Zero.=0
Then the circuit becomes inverting amplifier the output voltage due to only Vb is denoted by
VOb. As
Vob=-R1/R1 (Vb)
VOb=-Vb
Assume the only Vc supply acting and remaining Va, Vb, Vd equals to Zero.=0
Then the circuit becomes non-inverting amplifier the output voltage due to only Vc is denoted
by VOc. As
V0c = ( 1 + R / R / 2 ) * ( Vc / 3 )
VOc = Vc
Assume the only Vd supply acting and remaining Va, Vb, Vc equals to Zero.=0
Then the circuit becomes non-inverting amplifier the output voltage due to only Vd is denoted
by VOd. As
VOd = ( 1 + R / R / 2 )*(Vd/3)
Voc = Vc
VO = -Va – Vb + Vc + Vd
