Question: Design a basic low pass RC filter to condition PWM analog output to a variable voltage. The passive RC filter is suitable for an analog

Design a basic low pass RC filter to condition PWM analog output to a variable voltage. The passive
RC filter is suitable for an analog output that does not draw much current.
Consider that the PWM signal is generated at a frequency of 10KHz, an that it is to be used
with a first order system that has a response time (time constant Tau) of 0.16 seconds.
[5%] Calculate the level of ripple when the filters corner frequency is placed in the middle between
the process corner frequency and the PWM frequency.
[5%] Calculate the filters corner frequency to make the ripple 104 times smaller than the original
PWM signal, e.g.0.5mV ripple for 5V PWM signal. PWM frequency.
[1%] Compare both cases above and comment which design is preferred.
[1%] Find values for R and C in both cases
