This Excel spreadsheet uses conditional formatting to highlight the resistor pairs in a design that can create a particular ratio. The target ratio is entered in cell C3, and the tolerance is entered ...

The CSS/CSSH current-sensing resistors offer values down to 0.25 milliohms in a standard surface-mounted chip package. This resistor series is rated for full-power operation at up to 100°C, and has an ...

A hard drive crash, and some other happenings that aren’t entirely clear to us, led [Devbisme] to put in a parts order. As he wanted to make the most of his shipping costs, he decided to fill out the ...

Download this article in PDF format. Determining the resistor values and assuring performance of the circuit associated with a photocoupler (also called an optocoupler or optoisolator) is simple in ...

With surface-mount components quickly becoming the norm, even for homebrew hardware, the resistor color-code can sometimes feel a bit old-hat. However, anybody who has ever tried to identify a random ...
