processing function of multiplying a variable by a constant Used extensively in realizing attenuation and data conversion operations 15 Capacitor 1 v = idt C dv i=C dt 16 Capacitor (contd.) is the charge Q in Coulombs stored in the capacitor A capacitor can perform integration of a variable and its inverse function of differentiating a variable. Energy is stored in a capacitor as charge in electrostatic form and is given by 0.5CV2 . idt 17 Inductors Li is the flux linkages associated with the inductor Inductors store energy in electromagnetic form - 0.5Li2 Inductor performs integration of a variable and its inverse function of differentiating a variable di v=L dt 1 i= vdt L 18 Diode (Controlled Switch) Current i is the independent variable in the forward direction (i > 0; v=0) Voltage is the independent variable when the diode is reverse biased (v < 0; i=0) 19
Negative Resistance If i is considered as the
independent variable v = -Ri 20 Negative Resistance (contd.,) If v is considered as the independent variable i=-Gv
