Summing Differentiator Circuit:

Summing Differentiator Circuit – Similar to the summing integrator, summing can be obtained using the basic differentiator Circuit. It can be obtained by applying more than one input to the basic differentiator Circuit as shown in the Fig. 2.50.

The node B is grounded, hence potential of A is also zero. So V_A = 0. Hence we can write the expressions for the various currents as,

and

Applying at node A,

Taking of the Equation,

where

and

i.e.

As R_f C₁ is very much higher than R₁C₁ and R₂ C₂, we get,

Replacing s by d/dt,

For C₁ = C₂ we get,

The expression shows that the output is the sum of the differentiations of the two inputs. Hence the circuit is called as Summing Differentiators.

The resistance R₁ is introduced to provide closed loop stability at high frequency and to reduce the high frequency noise.
