OP-AMP
INTRODUCTION
An Operational Amplifier is a high-gain electronic voltage
amplifier with differential input and, usually a single-ended
output.
One of the most common application for an op-amp is to
algebraically add two or more input signals/voltages to form the
sum of those signals/voltages. Such a circuit is known as a
Summing Amplifier or Adder. Adder can be designed by using
either Inverting mode or Non-Inverting mode. The gain of this
Amplifier is unity, although gain can adjusted by taking different
values of resistors.
Another most common application is a Difference Amplifier
or Subtractor which gives difference of two input signals/voltages
as Output. This circuit is a combination of an Inverting and Non-
Inverting Amplifier. Summation of output voltages of these two
modes separately results in the overall output voltage. Hence, the
input at Inverting Terminal is subtracted from input at Non-
Inverting Terminal.
It is possible to perform addition and subtraction
simultaneously with a single OP-AMP with the following circuit.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
WORKING
1 R R
Vo1 + Vo2 + Vo3 = 2 R( )
1+ f ( V 1+ V 2) − f (V 3 )
R
If, R f =R
1 R R
Vo1 + Vo2 + Vo3 = 2 (1+ R ) ( V 1 +V 2 )− (V )
R 3
Vo = V 1 +V 2−V 3
CONCLUSION
1. Audio Mixer
A Summing is a useful circuit when two or more signals need to
be added/combined, like in Audio Mixer. The sounds from
different musical instruments can be converted to a specific
voltage level, using transducers, and connected as inputs to an
Adder. These signals will be combined and sent to an Audio
Amplifier.
