A resistor–capacitor circuit (RC circuit), or RC filter or RC network, is an electric circuit composed of resistors and capacitors. It may be driven by a voltage or current source and these will produce different responses. A first order RC circuit is composed of one resistor and one capacitor and is the simplest type of RC circuit.
The equation is true for any frequency signal, assuming an ideal op amp (though a real op-amp has limited bandwidth). The op amp's low-impedance output isolates the load of the succeeding stages, so this circuit has the same response independent of its load. If a constant DC voltage is applied as input, the output voltage is zero.
Simplified diagram of a 2-stage cascaded amplifier. A multistage amplifier is an electronic amplifier consisting of two or more single-stage amplifiers connected together. In this context, a single stage is an amplifier containing only a single transistor (sometimes a pair of transistors) or other active device.
A phase-shift oscillator is a linear electronic oscillator circuit that produces a sine wave output. It consists of an inverting amplifier element such as a transistor or op amp with its output fed back to its input through a phase-shift network consisting of resistors and capacitors in a ladder network.
Referring to the above diagram, if the op-amp is assumed to be ideal, then the voltage at the inverting (-) input is held equal to the voltage at the non-inverting (+) input as a virtual ground. The input voltage passes a current V in / R 1 {\displaystyle V_{\text{in}}/{R_{1}}} through the resistor producing a compensating current flow through ...
A simple precision rectifier circuit. The basic circuit implementing such a feature is shown on the right, where can be any load. When the input voltage is negative, the opamp puts its most negative voltage on the diode's anode, so the diode is reverse biased and works like an open circuit.
A discharged or partially charged capacitor appears as a short circuit to the source when the source voltage is higher than the potential of the capacitor. A fully discharged capacitor will take approximately 5 RC time periods to fully charge; during the charging period, instantaneous current can exceed steady-state current by a substantial ...
For comparison, the old-fashioned inverting single-ended op-amps from the early 1940s could realize only parallel negative feedback by connecting additional resistor networks (an op-amp inverting amplifier is the most popular example). A common application is for the control of motors or servos, as well as for signal amplification applications.
