I continue to design analog circuits just in case it turns out that computers are a passing fad. A recent design project called for a πΩ resistor, and I was surprised that I could not find one in ...

From tiny, battery-powered tire-pressure sensors to multimegawatt wind turbines, the nature of today's electronics and the incessant drive to improve energy efficiency make energy measurement a hot ...

Embedded exhibition sets out to simplify DC motor control circuits Richard Wilson Simplifying the design of DC motor control circuits was the aim of a number of microcontroller announcements at last ...

Designed for use in automated power supply calibration circuits, the DS3904 nonvolatile, digital resistor contains three low-temperature-coefficient digital resistors with 128 user-selectable ...

Designers making in-circuit current measurements can avoid ground-reference problems by putting the sense resistor on the supply side of the load. However, high-side measurement components must deal ...

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 ...
