2. R. T. HoweEECS 105 Fall 2001 Lecture 5 Dept. of EECS University of California at Berkeley A Second Order System Where does the inductor come from? Do step response: v S (t) jumps to V DD at t = 0

3. R. T. HoweEECS 105 Fall 2001 Lecture 5 Dept. of EECS University of California at Berkeley Step Response of L-R-C Circuit Initial conditions: v C (t=0) = 0 V; i L (t=0) = 0 A Inductor voltage:

4. R. T. HoweEECS 105 Fall 2001 Lecture 5 Dept. of EECS University of California at Berkeley Second-Order Diff. Eqn. for v C (t) Substituting for v L : Differentiating both sides:

5. R. T. HoweEECS 105 Fall 2001 Lecture 5 Dept. of EECS University of California at Berkeley Solving the 2 nd Order ODE Steady-state solution: v C,ss = V DD Transient solution: v C,tr = ? … guess v C,tr = ae st and substitute:
