Design a Subtractor


         A basic differential amplifier can be used as a sub-tractor. We can get the difference of two input voltages in the output of op-amp as output voltage. The circuit diagram of a basic differential amplifier is drawn below.


         This is a linear bilateral network. So, applying super position theorem, we can find the output voltage equation.
Let, assume that only Va is applied and Vb is short.

Electric Analog Computation

               Electronic analog computation is one of the basic concepts in the field of modern electronic computing. In electronic analog computation any equation  can be solved by using some analog circuits which is designed by using op-amps .In my assignment I try to present the concept of electronic analog computation by solving a differential equation with a correspondent circuit .

        Electronic analog computation is such kind of electronic computation in which basic analog computing elements such as adders ,integrators ,multipliers, comparators etc are used to solve any desired equation such as differential equations etc .It is the basic concepts of analog computer.
            In this a differential equation is solved by electronic analog computation.


                   Let a differential equation be :
                                          
 D2v+k1Dv+k2v-v1=0……………….(1)   Where, k1 and k2 are constant terms.

           In the starting I assumed that D2v is available in the form of a voltage .Then by means of an integrator I will get  the voltage proportional to Dv. A second integrator gives the voltage proportional to v .Then an adder gives –( k1Dv+k2v-v1)  From the equation it is equal to D2v
and hence the output of this summing amplifier is fed to the input terminal ,where I had assumed that D2v was available in the first place.

       The integrator 1 has a time constant RC=1s, and hence its output at terminal 1 is –Dv .This voltage is fed to a similar integrator 2 and the voltage at terminal 2 is +v. The voltage at terminal 1 is fed to summing amplifier 1 which gain is 1 and in the output terminal 3 I get + k1Dv- v1.
         where k1=(R/R1).At the end the output of terminal 2 and 3 are fed to summing amplifier 2,from where I will get  D2v= - (k1Dv+k2v-v1) at terminal 4.

              By electronic analog computation we can solve any kind of equation by some basics circuits using op-amp .But we have to careful to set the gain of the circuits because in some steps the constant term of the equation is  represent by the gain of the correspondent circuit .So, we have to design the circuits according to gain which represents the constant term

The Differential Input and Differential Output


For getting balanced differential output  we use this circuit. In this circuit  two source is present, so the superposition theory is applied to get the output. In this circuit both the inverting and non-inverting terminal is working.It rejects the common-mode voltages, so  it is very useful in noisy environments.

A  differential input and differential output amplifier using two identical Op amp. It is     most commonly used as a preamplifier and driving push-pull  arrangement. The differential input and output  are inphase or the same polarity provided  Vin  =Vx – Vy and
V=Vox – Voy
When we want to find out the 1st op-amps output VOX , we will use the  superposition theory.
When we get  VX  is active , VY  is  inactive then ,
In non inverting terminal 
V1= (1+ )VX
When we get  Vy   is  active,  Vx   is  inactive then,
In  inverting terminal,
V1 = - Vy
 So, Vox = V1+V1
                =(1+ )V Vy
 
Fig: The circuit diagram of the differential input and output amplifier. 

When we want to find out the 2nd  op-amps output VOy ,we will use superposition theory.
                      When we get  VX  is active , VY  is  inactive then
                      In  inverting terminal ,
                      V2= - Vx
        
      Again, when  we get  Vy  is  active ,  Vx  is  inactive then
        In non inverting terminal we get, 
V2= (1+ )Vy
So, Voy = V2+V2
                                      =(1+ )Vy - Vx
So the output result   
Vo = Vox  –  Voy 
= (1+ )V-  Vy  –[(1+ )Vy - Vx ]
                                      = (1+ ) ( VX - Vy ) +( VX - Vy )
                                       = ( VX - Vy ) (1+ )

Design
To design a input and differential output amplifier,  taking a  differential output of at least 3.7V and the  differential  input Vin  =10V.
                        We know,
 Vo = ( VX - Vy ) (1+ )
            Or, 3.7 = (0.1) (1+ )
 Or, 37 = (1+ )
            Or, 36 = 
            Or, Rf  = 18 R1
                                    Let, R1 = 100Ώ, then Rf  = 1.8 KΏ .
