Signal Subtract
Click here to return to the Basic DSP page
There are two kinds of subtraction supported.
- Subtraction (Real Signals)
- Subtraction (Complex Signals)
Subtraction (Real Signals)
The Subtract Block performs a subtraction operation on the input pins and outputs the difference result. (Minuend - Subtrahend = Difference)|

Input Pins
| Name | Format [int/dec] - [control/audio] | Function Description |
|---|---|---|
| Input_Pin 0 | any - any | Minuend term |
| Input_Pin 1 | any - any | Subtrahend term |
Output Pins
| Name | Format [int/dec] - [control/audio] | Function Description |
|---|---|---|
| Input_Pin 0 | any - any | Difference term |
Algorithm Description
A standard subtraction operation is performed. When the algorithm is grown new input pins appear. These input pins represent more subtrahend terms so that the resulting output formula is:
Output_Pin 0 = Input_Pin 0 - (Input_Pin1 + Input_Pin2 + Input_Pin3 + … Input_PinN)
Example
The subtraction block can be used along with other arithmetic operators to realize many typical DSP functions. It is a basic building block that allows difference operations to be performed.
The subtraction block can also be useful when debugging a schematic project. In the following example subtraction is used to compare the output of the Crossover Filter and two separate General 2nd Order filters set-up to do a cross-over functionality. By subtracting the two “low” outputs and the two “high” outputs, you can verify that both filters are the same if the resulting output in the Readback window is 0.

Subtraction (Complex Signals)
This algorithm subtracts the complex signals. (All real parts are subtracted to the first signal's real part and all imaginary parts are subtracted to first signals imaginary part)This is a block based module.
Input Pins
| Name | Format [int/dec] - [control/audio] | Function Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 0: Operand 1 | complex | Input complex signal 1 |
| Pin 1: Operand 2 | complex | Input Complex signal 2 |
Output Pins
| Name | Format [int/dec] - [control/audio] | Function Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 0: Output Signal | Complex | Complex output signal |
Grow Algorithm
input pins can be grown up to 8 channels.
Supported DSPs
ADAU145x (Block Schematic only)
Example Usage
This can be used to subtract two signals FFT's result as shown below.
