Design of an Analog Computer for Handling Ordinary Differential Equations

Abstract

This study describes the design of an operational amplifier-based analog computer that can be used to process ordinary differential equations. It can be used to handle operations such as summation, negation, and integration. The study is organized as follows: Section 2 introduces the principle of circuit blocks. Section 3 introduces the Circuit design for first-order differential equation. Section 4 introduces the Circuit design for second-order differential equation. Section 5 summarizes the applications of analog computer.
