RC Circuit

circuit diagram

The RC circuit (shown above) can act as a simple integrator or a first order low-pass filter. It is analysed here. The rule of thumb that relates bandwidth to the rise-time of a circuit is shown to be based in the mathematical analysis.

  • Step response
  • Rise time (And why is rise time multiplied by bandwidth equal to 0.35?)
  • Mathematical model
  • Coming soon! Frequency response and bandwidth
  • Coming soon! Use as a simple integrator
  • Coming soon! A better integrator
  • Coming soon! Advanced mathematical model
