# pi filter

Shunt capacitor at input, through an inductor ([L-section filter](L-section%20filter.md)) and output directly across another capacitor.
Major ripples dealt with by the input capacitor, with residual AC ripples handled by L and output C.
## Pros
1. Low voltage drop across components
2. Low [ripple factor](ripple%20factor.md)
3. High [peak inverse voltage](peak%20inverse%20voltage.md) compared to [L-section filter](L-section%20filter.md)
## Cons
Low [voltage regulation](voltage%20regulation.md) because output voltage drops rapidly with current.[^1]
