Resistors are tiny components found in almost every electronic device, but their role is crucial. This video explains how ...

If you’ve been following along our USB-C saga, you know that the CC wire in the USB-C cables is used for communications and polarity detection. However, what’s not as widely known is that there are ...

This resistor with bands of red, violet, yellow, and gold has a value of 270,000 ohms (270kΩ) with a tolerance of ±5%. \( \begin{eqnarray*}\text{R}_\text{t ...

Although there are several ways to sense current flowing from a source such as a battery, or to a load such as a motor, the current-sense resistor is among the most widely used approaches. There are ...

The resistor is one of the simpler electronic components. Engineers seldom examine resistor characteristics until there's a resistor-related problem with a circuit design. You can probably resolve 90% ...

In most operational amplifier (op amp) circuits, the resistor tolerance and resistor temperature coefficient determine the gain accuracy and gain temperature drift (Figure 1 shows a typical circuit).

Integrating voltage dividers and networks into common packages, rather than selecting discrete resistors, can ultimately produce analog circuits with better performance and reliability. As a matter of ...
