Enter the damped frequency of a second-order damping system into the calculator to determine the rise time.

## Rise Time Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the rise time of a second-order system.

t = 2.09439 / wd
• Where t is the rise time
• wd is the damped frequency (rad/s)

To calculate rise time, divide 2.09439 by the damped frequency.

## Rise Time Definition

A rise time is defined as the time it takes for a damped signal to change from a low to high value.

## FAQ

What is a rise time?

The rise time is considered the total amount of time it takes for a signal to change from a low value to a high value. These are most often involved in electronics when describing voltage or current step functions.

What is a damped frequency?

A damped frequency is the frequency of an underdamped harmonic oscillator.
