In summary: The results of the simulation are shown below. Keep in mind I am supposed to get -10V and 10VHa I know that. :smile:Simulation results:The circuit diagram was a bit small on my monitor and I thought the scope had single ended inputs (with respect to ground). So that the two input wires would have been connected together to a common node at the oscilloscope input instead of to separate "+" and "-" nodes. I had to look a bit closer to notice that it's a differential input (+,-).

I have the circuit below which is supposed to take input of 100mV to 400mV and output a voltage of -10v and 10V respectively. I have designed the circuit below through multisim and would like to verify if its correct before trying to connect on breadboard. When I simulate the circuit, I get 14.50V for dc and for AC i get 0V ?

Without analyzing it in detail two big problems stand out.

1. I don't use "multisim" but it looks to me that you're unintentionally short circuiting those two points connected to channel A on the scope.

2. You have no negative power supplies! If you take a DC supply and connect the nominal positive side to ground but then give the supply a negative value (-15), then it's actually a positive supply (by virtue of double negative).

An oscilloscope has high input impedance.

In addition to what uart said about the supplies, don't ground the negative end of the function generator.

I'm getting confused here. Where should the - terminal of oscilloscope and function generator be connected to?

The scope is fine. The - terminla of the function generator shouldn't be connected to anything.

You've currently got the scope negative connected to the opamp negative input, which should be a "virtual earth" (if your circuit was working properly). Whether or not it will make a difference in multisim, in real life you shouldn't be adding extra capacitance and perhaps extra noise pickup here. You should connect it directly to a zero volt point (earth) instead.
 

FAQ: Summer+inverter op amp[multisim diagram]

What is a summer inverter op amp and how does it work?

A summer inverter op amp is a type of operational amplifier circuit that combines multiple input signals and produces an inverted output signal. It works by using an inverting amplifier configuration, where the output voltage is the inverse of the input voltage. The inputs are summed together and fed into the inverting input of the op amp, which amplifies and inverts the signal to produce the output.

What are the components of a summer inverter op amp circuit?

A summer inverter op amp circuit typically consists of an op amp, resistors, and input signals. The op amp is usually a single integrated circuit, while the resistors are used to set the amplification and inversion levels. The input signals can be from various sources, such as sensors or other electronic circuits.

What are the advantages of using a summer inverter op amp circuit?

One of the main advantages of a summer inverter op amp circuit is its ability to combine and invert multiple input signals with high precision. It also has a high input impedance, which means it does not draw much current from the input signals, making it suitable for use with low current sources. Additionally, op amps are widely available and relatively inexpensive, making them a cost-effective choice for electronic circuits.

How can I simulate a summer inverter op amp circuit using Multisim?

To simulate a summer inverter op amp circuit using Multisim, you can use the "Operational Amplifiers" category in the component library to select an op amp and place it on the circuit diagram. Then, you can add resistors and connect them to the appropriate pins of the op amp. Finally, you can add the input signals and connect them to the resistors. You can then run the simulation and observe the output signal.

What are some common applications of summer inverter op amp circuits?

Summer inverter op amp circuits are commonly used in electronic circuits for signal processing and conditioning. They can be used in audio amplifiers, filters, and oscillators, among other applications. They are also used in electronic instruments, such as oscilloscopes and function generators, to amplify and invert input signals for display and analysis.
