During the steady-state condition of a differentiator, the average output voltage is zero volts.
The voltage across a capacitor in an RC integrator circuit cannot change exponentially; it can change only instantaneously.
The output voltage of a differentiator goes negative on the falling edge of the input pulse.
The output of a differentiator could be considered a spike when the input pulse width is much longer than 5 time constants.
The steady-state condition of an integrator is reached after 5 time constants regardless of the number of input pulses that occur in that amount of time.
The output of an RC differentiator is taken from across the capacitor.
If the output of an RC integrator is zero volts, the capacitor might be open.
A repetitive pulse with a 50% duty cycle is being applied to the input of an RC integrator. If one time constant is less than one-fifth the pulse width, the capacitor will be able to fully charge and discharge.
The output of an RL differentiator is taken from across the inductor.
If a repetitive-pulse waveform is applied to an RC integrator, the output waveshape depends on the relationship of the circuit time constant and the duty cycle of the input pulses.
