Refined asymptotic analysis of the two‐capacitor circuit

Abstract

SummaryA refinement of a previous asymptotic analysis of the well‐known two‐capacitor circuit is presented. It rests on some mathematical results, which allow the originally conceived regularity constraint to be replaced with a new one, not only less restrictive but also and above all simpler and easier to check. On this basis, the main time domain diagrams of the circuit with the embedding switch are presented. In addition, the solution of the circuit in the transition interval is provided, and some calculations related to the distribution side of the analysis are also reconsidered and improved.
