>> Now, let's talk about how a differencing or subtracting amplifier works.

0:00:04.590,0:00:06.280
I've drawn the whole amplifier here,

0:00:06.280,0:00:09.510
it's a combination of a inverting and

0:00:09.510,0:00:14.490
a non-inverting amplifier with the two separate voltages Vs1 and Vs2.

0:00:14.490,0:00:18.195
You can see that what happens right here is you have your feedback loop.

0:00:18.195,0:00:21.630
Right here, I'm not going to scribble in the feedback loop.

0:00:21.630,0:00:27.270
There's the feedback loop going to the negative connection and that's the feedback,

0:00:27.270,0:00:30.870
we have one voltage right here connected onto the negative feedback.

0:00:30.870,0:00:35.570
So, Vs1 right here is going to be the negative part of our equation.

0:00:35.570,0:00:42.275
We can see that because the gain on the negative feedback is minus R2 over R1.

0:00:42.275,0:00:46.130
This other term is going to be the positive part or Vs2.

0:00:46.130,0:00:49.115
We can see that we only have positives right here.

0:00:49.115,0:00:51.850
So, that's the gain that we're going to have on Vs2.

0:00:51.850,0:00:57.260
We could basically look at that like bringing in Vs1 and multiplying it

0:00:57.260,0:01:03.785
by the first gain, bringing in Vs2 and multiplying it by the second gain,

0:01:03.785,0:01:06.575
and then adding them up.

0:01:06.575,0:01:13.190
The only cool thing is that gain one is negative and gain two is positive,

0:01:13.190,0:01:16.025
so we end up essentially subtracting off,

0:01:16.025,0:01:18.605
part of Vs1 from Vs2.

0:01:18.605,0:01:20.735
That gives us our output voltage.

0:01:20.735,0:01:23.385
As with all of our op-amps.

0:01:23.385,0:01:28.895
The V0 is limited between the two power supply voltages,

0:01:28.895,0:01:32.130
Vcc and minus Vcc.
