Rise Time - Factors Affecting Rise Time

Factors Affecting Rise Time

Rise time values in a resistive circuit are primarily due to stray capacitance and inductance in the circuit. Because every circuit has not only resistance, but also capacitance and inductance, a delay in voltage and/or current at the load is apparent until the steady state is reached. In a pure RC circuit, the output risetime (10% to 90%), as shown above, is approximately equal to .

Famous quotes containing the words factors, affecting, rise and/or time:

    “The economic dependence of woman and her apparently indestructible illusion that marriage will release her from loneliness and work and worry are potent factors in immunizing her from common sense in dealing with men at work.”
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    “I know no more affecting lesson to our busy, plotting New England brains, than to go into one of our factories with which we have lined all the watercourses in the States. A man hardly knows how much he is a machine, until he begins to make telegraph, loom, press, and locomotive, in his own image.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “May not the complaint, that common people are above their station, often take its rise in the fact of uncommon people being below theirs?”
    —Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    “At no time in history ... have the people who are not fit for society had such a glorious opportunity to pretend that society is not fit for them. Knowledge of the slums is at present a passport to society—so much the parlor philanthropists have achieved—and all they have to do is to prove that they know their subject. It is an odd qualification to have pitched on; but gentlemen and ladies are always credulous, especially if you tell them that they are not doing their duty.”
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
