Capacitor maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The energy endpoint computes the stored energy and charge of a capacitor from any two of the capacitance, the voltage and the charge — E = ½CV² = ½QV and Q = CV — in joules, millijoules and coulombs. The charging endpoint models the RC charging and discharging transient: the time constant τ = RC, the voltage at a given time, V(t) = Vs(1 − e^(−t/RC)) when charging or V(t) = V₀·e^(−t/RC) when discharging, and the percent charged, or — given a target voltage — the time to reach it; a capacitor reaches about 63 % of the way in one time constant and over 99 % in five. The combination endpoint computes the total capacitance of capacitors in series (1/C = Σ1/Cᵢ) or parallel (C = ΣCᵢ). Capacitance accepts farads or the handy µF/nF/pF units. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for electronics, maker, embedded and circuit-design app developers, power-supply and timing tools, and electronics education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is capacitor maths; for AC reactance and resonance use a resonance API and for LED resistor sizing an LED-resistor API.

Voltage Divider API

Resistive voltage-divider circuit design as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The divide endpoint takes an input voltage and two resistors and returns the output voltage Vout = Vin·R2/(R1+R2), the current I = Vin/(R1+R2) that flows through the chain, and the power dissipated in each resistor and in total — a 12 V source with R1 = 1 kΩ and R2 = 2 kΩ gives 8 V at 4 mA. The loaded endpoint adds a load resistor across R2, computes the parallel combination R2′ = R2·RL/(R2+RL) and the loaded output Vout = Vin·R2′/(R1+R2′), and reports the droop in volts and percent against the unloaded value, the classic mistake when a divider feeds a real load. The resistor endpoint sizes the missing resistor for a target output — R2 = R1·Vout/(Vin−Vout) or R1 = R2·(Vin−Vout)/Vout — so you can pick parts for a reference or sensor-bias point. All quantities are volts, ohms, amps and watts. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for electronics, embedded, hardware, sensor-interfacing and EE-education app developers, reference-voltage and bias-network tools, and maker software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is the resistive divider; for a single Ohm’s-law relationship use an Ohm’s-law API and for RC/RL filters an RC-filter API.

RC Filter API

First-order RC and RL passive-filter design as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The lowpass and highpass endpoints take a resistor and capacitor (RC) or a resistor and inductor (RL) and return the −3 dB cutoff frequency (fc = 1/(2πRC) for RC, R/(2πL) for RL), the time constant (τ = RC or L/R) and the angular cutoff; pass a frequency as well and they add the magnitude response as a linear gain and in decibels and the phase shift in degrees — a 1 kΩ / 1 µF low-pass has fc ≈ 159.15 Hz, and right at the cutoff the gain is −3.01 dB with −45° phase for a low-pass or +45° for a high-pass. The component endpoint solves the missing one of fc, R and C from the other two (fc = 1/(2πRC)), so you can size a resistor or capacitor for a target cutoff. All quantities are SI: ohms, farads, henries and hertz. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for electronics, audio, embedded, signal-processing and EE-education app developers, filter-design and circuit-sizing tools, and maker software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is first-order single-pole filter design; for full RLC impedance and resonance use an impedance API and for stored capacitor energy a capacitor API.

Chebyshev Filter API

Chebyshev Type I filter-design maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The order endpoint computes the minimum filter order to meet a specification, n = ⌈acosh(√((10^(As/10)−1)/(10^(Ap/10)−1))) / acosh(fs/fp)⌉, from the passband edge frequency and its ripple and the stopband edge and its required attenuation — a Chebyshev filter usually needs a lower order than a Butterworth for the same specification, trading a flat passband for equiripple. The response endpoint computes the equiripple magnitude response, |H| = 1/√(1 + ε²·Tₙ²(f/fc)) with the ripple factor ε = √(10^(Ap/10) − 1) and the Chebyshev polynomial Tₙ, in linear and decibel form — in the passband the magnitude ripples between 0 and −Ap dB and reaches exactly −Ap dB at the cutoff, then rolls off faster than a Butterworth. The ripple endpoint converts between the passband ripple in decibels and the ripple factor ε, with the passband maximum and minimum. Frequencies are in hertz, ripple and attenuation in decibels and the order a positive integer. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for DSP, audio, RF, communications and instrumentation app developers, filter-design and selectivity tools, and signal-processing education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is the Chebyshev Type I filter; for the maximally-flat Butterworth use a Butterworth API.

Butterworth Filter API

Butterworth-filter design maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The order endpoint computes the minimum filter order needed to meet a specification — from the passband edge frequency and its allowed ripple and the stopband edge frequency and its required attenuation it returns the exact and rounded-up order, n = ⌈log10((10^(As/10)−1)/(10^(Ap/10)−1)) / (2·log10(fs/fp))⌉, where each extra order adds 20 dB per decade of roll-off. The response endpoint computes the maximally-flat magnitude response of an n-th order Butterworth filter at a frequency, |H| = 1/√(1 + (f/fc)^(2n)), in linear and decibel form with the attenuation and the asymptotic roll-off — the response is exactly −3.01 dB at the cutoff for any order. The poles endpoint gives the s-plane pole locations, equally spaced on a circle of radius ωc in the left half-plane at angles π·(2k+n−1)/(2n), all stable. Frequencies are in hertz (or any consistent unit), ripple and attenuation in decibels and the order a positive integer. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for DSP, audio, RF, instrumentation and embedded app developers, anti-aliasing and filter-design tools, and signal-processing education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is the Butterworth filter; for a single-pole RC cutoff and resonance use a resonance API and for AC impedance an impedance API.
