Square-wave response of an RC low-pass filter

ID: square-wave-response-of-an-rc-low-pass-filter

For an equal-duty square wave alternating between with period , the steady periodic capacitor voltage has extrema . A positive half-period maps to , proving the title formula. The negative half-period is its sign-reversed copy. Short periods give a small nearly triangular output; long periods give input-like plateaux with exponential transitions.
