Non Inverting Summing Amplifier, general case |
We start by finding the equations for V+ and V−:
V−=VoutRgRg+Rf
The currents to the V+ node have the same subscripts as the voltages and resistances. We now have a bunch of equations:
V1−V+=I1R1V2−V+=I2R2
and so on to:
Vn−V+=InRn
We also have
I1+I2+⋯+In=0
So by arranging the equations in this form:
Vn−V+Rn=In
we get:
V1−V+R1+V2−V+R2+⋯+Vn−V+Rn=0which can be simplified to:
V+=V1R1R2⋯Rn/R1+V2R1R2⋯Rn/R2+⋯+VnR1R2⋯Rn/RnR1R2⋯Rn/R1+R1R2⋯Rn/R2+R1R2⋯Rn/Rn
(Hope I got that notation right...)
Using the golden op amp rules we now set V+=V− and get:
VoutRgRg+Rf=V1R1R2⋯Rn/R1+V2R1R2⋯Rn/R2+⋯+VnR1R2⋯Rn/RnR1R2⋯Rn/R1+R1R2⋯Rn/R2+R1R2⋯Rn/Rn⇒Vout=Rg+RfRgV1R1R2⋯Rn/R1+V2R1R2⋯Rn/R2+⋯+VnR1R2⋯Rn/RnR1R2⋯Rn/R1+R1R2⋯Rn/R2+R1R2⋯Rn/Rn
If we want to, we can simplify this drastically by setting one or both of these equations:
R1=R2= ⋯=Rn=RRg=Rf
Will give us:
Vout=2V1+V2+⋯+Vnn
To get a unity gain summer we can set:
Rg+RfnRg=1⇒Rf=Rg(n−1)
That's it. By the way, the schematics I made using xcircuit. It was my first circuit using this tool, but it seems nice enough to try it some more...
