Mathematical Operations using operational Amplifier

Summing Amplifier Circuit

The output voltage, ( Vout ) now becomes proportional to the sum of the input
voltages, V1, V2, V3etc. Then we can modify the original equation for the inverting amplifier
to take account of these new inputs thus:

Opamp integrator operation

Applying KCL at inverting node of opamp, we get

(0-Vout)/R + Ic = 0
Ic = Vout/R

where Ic = (-1/C)* .
Hence we get

Vout = – (1/R*C)*
Op-Amp differentiator operation

Applying KCL at inverting node of opamp, we get

(0-Vout)/R + Ic = 0
Ic = Vout/R
where Ic = C*d(0-Vin)/dt.
Hence we get Vout = -R*C*dVin/dt.
