Glättungsschaltungen
Glättungsschaltungen, often referred to as smoothing circuits, are essential components in electronics, primarily used to reduce voltage ripple or current fluctuations in an electrical signal. Their main purpose is to convert pulsating direct current (DC) into a more stable and continuous DC output. This is particularly crucial after rectification processes, where AC voltage is converted to pulsating DC, which is unsuitable for many electronic devices that require a steady voltage supply.
The most common type of glättungsschaltung is a filter circuit. These filters typically employ reactive components
A simple RC (Resistor-Capacitor) filter is a basic form of glättungsschaltung, often found in less demanding
