How Summing Amp Output works
Compute the inverting two-input summing amplifier output as -(Rf x (V1/R1 + V2/R2)). The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Summing output (V)
- The resulting summing output returned as a number.
Limitations and assumptions
- Amplifier gain and rejection calculations are small-signal approximations unless the operating point is checked. Gain-bandwidth, slew rate, input and output range, stability, noise, offset, bias current, loading, and frequency-dependent CMRR can limit the result.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Check the result against the current datasheet and worst-case operating corners, then verify the circuit or measurement with simulation and bench testing where failure matters.
