1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,375 >> Now, let's review what an inverting summer does. 2 00:00:03,375 --> 00:00:07,575 We can start with the inverting amplifier shown here and then add on 3 00:00:07,575 --> 00:00:14,310 an additional voltage source, which has its own resistance and its own voltage. 4 00:00:14,310 --> 00:00:18,630 Then, what's going to happen is Vo is going to be the combination of 5 00:00:18,630 --> 00:00:25,470 these two voltages, as shown here. 6 00:00:25,470 --> 00:00:29,280 As with all of our op-amp circuits, 7 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:35,850 the Vo is limited between the two power supply voltages as always. 8 00:00:35,850 --> 00:00:42,540 We can look at this circuit as having two separate gains A and B, 9 00:00:42,540 --> 00:00:44,250 or minus A and minus B. 10 00:00:44,250 --> 00:00:51,060 And then, what we do is bring in Vs1 and multiply it by minus A, 11 00:00:51,060 --> 00:00:56,250 bring in Vs2 and multiply that by minus B, 12 00:00:56,250 --> 00:00:58,535 and bring the two of these together and add them, 13 00:00:58,535 --> 00:00:59,900 that's the summer part. 14 00:00:59,900 --> 00:01:01,925 That gives us V out. 15 00:01:01,925 --> 00:01:05,489 So, that's how an inverting summer works.
