00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.375
>> Now, let's review what an inverting summer does.

00:00:03.375 --> 00:00:07.575
We can start with the inverting amplifier shown here and then add on

00:00:07.575 --> 00:00:14.310
an additional voltage source, which has its own resistance and its own voltage.

00:00:14.310 --> 00:00:18.630
Then, what's going to happen is Vo is going to be the combination of

00:00:18.630 --> 00:00:25.470
these two voltages, as shown here.

00:00:25.470 --> 00:00:29.280
As with all of our op-amp circuits,

00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:35.850
the Vo is limited between the two power supply voltages as always.

00:00:35.850 --> 00:00:42.540
We can look at this circuit as having two separate gains A and B,

00:00:42.540 --> 00:00:44.250
or minus A and minus B.

00:00:44.250 --> 00:00:51.060
And then, what we do is bring in Vs1 and multiply it by minus A,

00:00:51.060 --> 00:00:56.250
bring in Vs2 and multiply that by minus B,

00:00:56.250 --> 00:00:58.535
and bring the two of these together and add them,

00:00:58.535 --> 00:00:59.900
that's the summer part.

00:00:59.900 --> 00:01:01.925
That gives us V out.

00:01:01.925 --> 00:01:05.489
So, that's how an inverting summer works.
