Passive integrator circuit

Passive integrator circuit

Passive integrator circuit is a simple quadripole consisting of two passive elements. It is also the simplest (first-order) low-pass filter.

We'll analyze only the first circuit, the second is absolutely similar.

Transfer function

A transfer ratio is a gain factor for the sinusoidal input signal with given frequency.

A transfer function shows the dependence of the transfer ratio from the signal frequency, given that the input signal is sinusoidal.

According to Ohm's law,br
Y=Xfrac{Z_C}{Z_C+Z_R}=Xfrac{frac{1}{j omega C{frac{1}{j omega C}+R}=Xfrac{1}{1+j omega RC},
brwhere X and Y are input and output signals' amplitudes respectively, and Z_R and Z_C are the resistor's and capacitor's impedances.brTherefore, the complex transfer function isbr
K(j omega)=frac{1}{1+j omega RC}=frac{1}{1+frac{j omega}{omega_0,
brwhere
omega_0=frac{1}{RC}.br

Amplitude transfer function
H(omega)=|K(j omega)|=frac{1}{sqrt{1+left(frac{omega}{omega_0} ight)^2.
brPhase transfer function
phi (omega)=arg K(j omega)=-arctan frac{omega}{omega_0}.
br

Transfer functions for the second circuit are the same (with omega_0=frac{R}{L}).

Impulse response

The circuit's Impulse response can be derived as an inverse Laplace transform of the complex transfer function:br
h(t)=mathcal{L}^{-1} left {K(p) ight }=int_{eta-j infty}^{eta+j infty} K(p)e^{pt} , dp=omega_0 e^{-omega_0 t}=frac{1}{ au} e^{-frac{t}{ au,
brwhere au=frac{1}{omega_0} is a time constant.

Applications

A passive integrator circuit is often used in cheap digital audio systems (i.e. cheap soundcards) as a reconstruction filter.

It is also one of the basic electronic circuits, being widely used in circuit analysis based on the equivalent circuit method.
