Name of the Experiment:

Adder and Subtractor Circuits of Op-Amps

Objectives:

a. To study the operation of an inverting adder circuit using Op-Amp.

b. To study the operation of a differential amplifier / subtractor circuit using Op-Amp.

Equipment List:

1 Op-Amp LM741 1 piece

2. Resistor 1 kΩ, 3.3 kΩ 4 pieces, 2 pieces

3. DC Power Supply 3 units

4. AC function generator 1 unit

5. Oscilloscope 1 unit

6 Digital Multimeter 1 unit

7 Breadboard 1 unit

Inverting Adder:

An inverted amplifier has an output that is 180 degrees out of phase with respect to the input.

If the value of the feedback resistance and the resistance in series with the input signals are
appropriately selected, the inverting adder sums the signals at its inverting input terminal and

outputs the inverse of this summation at the output.

Differential Amplifier / Subtractor:

The differential amplifier amplifies the voltage difference present on its inverting and non-

inverting inputs. It is also known as Subtractor circuit. Differential amplifiers are used mainly

to suppress noise. Noise consists of typical differential noise and common-mode noise, of

which the latter can easily be suppressed with an op-amp.

Questions:

1. Write 3 applications of adder and subtractor circuit.

Ans :

1. Adder and subtractor are basically used for performing arithmetical functions like addition,

subtraction, multiplication and division in electronic calculators and digital instruments. 

2. They are also used in microcontrollers for arithmetic additions

3. They are  used in PC (program counter) and timers.
