Abstract
An active adder circuit is presented. It is designed to handle fast si gnals (risetime approximately 1 ns) that have to be linearly combined while good DC stability is to be maintained. This is useful in many fi elds of application, including calorimeters where the circuit has succ essfully been used. Experimental results of the adder performance and applications are shown.
