Designs requiring space-grade components must take into account the variances in component values that can occur over time. This is especially true for resistors, which can exhibit significant changes ...

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 ...

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 ...

In 2012, Vishay Foil Resistors (VFR) celebrated 50 years of leadership in precision resistors, starting with the invention by Dr. Felix Zandman of the Bulk Metal® Foil resistor in 1962. Dr. Zandman, ...

One of the first things you learn in electronics is how to identify a resistor’s value. Through-hole resistors have color codes, and that’s generally where beginners begin. But why are they marked ...

Chinese chip resistor manufacturers have cut production by 10-60% amid oversupply, but major firms haven't, limiting recovery ...

STACKPOLE CSSU2512 current sense resistor achieves high power density in compact electronic designs with a 5-watt power rating in a standard 2512 footprint.
