How the resistors put computing into 1960s counter-culture
In late April of 1968, a computer conference in Atlantic City, N.J., got off to a rocky start. A strike by telephone ...
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).

Resistors: Small but full of resistance
Learn how this small component helps power the devices you use every day—safely.
How do you know if a resistor is correctly restricting the flow of electricity? Using a multimeter is an obvious answer. However, there is more to it than meets the eye. This article will explain what ...
Resistor: A passive chunk of material that resists the flow of electrical current. A terminal is connected to each end you’re done. What could be simpler? It turns out it’s not so simple at all.
Resistors are one of the fundamental components used in electronic circuits. They do one thing: resist the flow of electrical current. There is more than one way to skin a cat, and there is more than ...
Fixed resistor manufacturers face continued demand for extended operating temperature ranges and AEC-Q200 qualified parts for automotive and industrial applications that need high stability in harsh ...
Surface-mounted resistors are resistors that contain numerical figures in codes similar to the ones used on axial lead-type resistors. These resistors use SMT technology to decrease the proportions of ...
The PMT design follows the ISA-PLAN principle: a copper substrate carries a foil made of the company's proprietary Noventin resistive material. Its high specific resistance improves pulse load ...
The epoxy conformal coating of IRC’s CMF Series of commercial-grade metal-film resistors gives them superior moisture for applications involving power supplies and industrial electronics. A series of ...
