Pulse Discharge Circuit
An overdamped series RLC circuit can be used as a pulse discharge circuit. Often it is useful to know the values of components that could be used to produce a waveform this is described by the form:
Such a circuit could consist of an energy storage capacitor, a load in the form of a resistance, some circuit inductance and a switch - all in series. The initial conditions are that the capacitor is at voltage and there is no current flowing in the inductor. If the inductance is known, then the remaining parameters are given by the following - capacitance:
Resistance (total of circuit and load):
Initial terminal voltage of capacitor:
Rearranging for the case where R is known - Capacitance:
Inductance (total of circuit and load):
Initial terminal voltage of capacitor:

Famous quotes containing the words pulse, discharge and/or circuit:
“Whoever has had the experience of the moral sentiment cannot choose but believe in unlimited power. Each pulse from that heart is an oath from the Most High. I know not what the word sublime means, if it be not the intimations, in this infant, of a terrific force.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... women of the North, I ask you to rise up with earnest, honest purpose, and go forward in the way of right, fearlessly, as independent human beings, responsible to God alone for the discharge of every duty, for the faithful use of every gift, the good Father has given you. Forget conventionalisms; forget what the world will say, whether you are in your place or out of your place; think your best thoughts, speak your best words, do your best works, looking to your own conscience for approval.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Within the circuit of this plodding life
There enter moments of an azure hue,
Untarnished fair as is the violet
Or anemone, when the spring strews them
By some meandering rivulet, which make
The best philosophy untrue that aims
But to console man for his grievances.
I have remembered when the winter came,”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
