RCDamping
RCDamping refers to a simple passive electronic circuit composed of a resistor (R) and a capacitor (C) connected in parallel. This configuration is commonly used for suppressing unwanted electrical noise or voltage spikes. When a surge or transient voltage occurs, the capacitor acts as a temporary energy storage device, absorbing the excess charge. The resistor then dissipates this stored energy as heat, effectively damping the fluctuation.
The rate at which the RCDamping circuit reduces the voltage spike is determined by the RC time
RCDamping circuits are often found in power supply filtering, signal conditioning, and protection circuits where a
