Resistors are the most commonly used component in electronics, as their purpose is to create specified values of current and voltage in a circuit. Since there's so much to understand about them, being ...

Measuring dynamic current flow has always been an important parameter for managing system performance, and doing so has become even more so with the proliferation of smarter management functions for ...

Measuring resistance doesn’t seem to be a big deal. Put your meter leads across two wires or terminals and read the value, right? Most of the time that is good enough, but sometimes you need better ...

The increasing popularity of HEVs and EVs increases the need for engineers to understand design considerations for high-voltage systems, including the need to accurately measure high voltages. The ...

What kinds of applications utilize precision resistor trimming? Obvious applications include setting operational-amplifier gain and offset and voltage regulator output (Fig. 1a and 1b). But there are ...

In all kinds of engineering, we build on abstractions in a kind of inverted pyramid. Lots of people can, for example, design a system using ready-made building blocks on printed circuit boards. Fewer ...
