Equation:
Vo = - (Rf/R1 * V1 + Rf/R2 * V2)
For Rf = R1 = R2 = 10kOhm, the equation becomes:
Vo = -(V1 + V2)
Circuit Implementation
Circuit Implementation:
- OP-AMP 741 used on a breadboard
- +15V and -15V supplied to pins 7 and 4 respectively
- Pin 2 is the inverting input
- Pin 3 is grounded (non-inverting input)
- Output taken from pin 6
