Design a Bipolar to Unipolar Converter with a 3-input Summing Amplifier

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

Summary:

Since the publication of Design a Bipolar to Unipolar Converter to Drive an ADC, several readers contacted me with requests to help in solving their particular converter. The common problem they had was the fact that the components’ calculation resulted in a negative value for at least one resistor.

To provide a solution, first we need to understand the root cause of the problem. Let’s take one of the circuits I received and analyze it.

The reader wrote that he would like to drive an ADC with the input range of 0 to 2.5V from a signal with the range of –5V to +5V, connected at V1.

The Non-Inverting Amplifier Output Resistance

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

Summary:

It is customary to consider the output resistance of the non-inverting amplifier as being zero, but why is that? An Op Amp’s own output resistance is in the range of tens of ohms. Still, when we connect the Op Amp in a feedback configuration, the output resistance decreases dramatically. Why?

The Transfer Function of the Non-Inverting Summing Amplifier with “N” Input Signals

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

Summary:

In a previous article, How to Derive the Summing Amplifier Transfer Function, I deduced the formula for the non-inverting summing amplifier with two signals in its input. But what if we have 3, 4 or an n number of signals? Can we add them all with one amplifier?

How to Derive the Summing Amplifier Transfer Function

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Summary:

The summing amplifier, or the non-inverting summing amplifier, is an analog processing circuit with the transfer function (the summing amplifier formula as some say) shown in the following equation.

(1)

The first term of the product is the actual summing, while the second term is a gain due to the R3 and R4 resistors.  I prefer this [...]
