Lecture 14 2
1st Order Circuits
• Any circuit with a single energy storage element, an arbitrary number of sources, and an arbitrary number of resistors is a circuit of order 1.
• Any voltage or current in such a circuit is the solution to a 1st order differential equation.
Lecture 14 3
Important Concepts
• The differential equation
• Forced and natural solutions
• The time constant
• Transient and steady state waveforms
Lecture 14 4
A First Order RC Circuit

Lecture 14 5
Applications Modeled by a 1st Order RC Circuit
• Computer RAM
– A dynamic RAM stores ones as charge on a capacitor.
– The charge leaks out through transistors modeled by large resistances.
– The charge must be periodically refreshed.
Lecture 14 6
More Applications
• The low-pass filter for an envelope detector in a superhetrodyne AM receiver.
• A sample-and-hold circuit for a PCM encoder:
– The capacitor is charged to the voltage of a waveform to be sampled.
– The capacitor holds this voltage until an A/D converter can convert it to bits.

The Particular Solution
• The particular solution vp(t) is usually a weighted sum of f(t) and its first derivative.
• If f(t) is constant, then vp(t) is constant.
• If f(t) is sinusoidal, then vp(t) is sinusoidal.
