What analog designer hasn't had to derive a nonstandard resistor value by using series/parallel combinations of standard resistor values? In efforts to avoid a production trimpot tweak, we can use 0.1 ...

Sometimes, it's the little things that are just so darn handy to have around. I'm often confronted with having to choose a parallel pair of resistors to get as close as possible to some non-standard ...

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 ...

How and why sub-milliohm chips warrant consideration as a separate class of component. Strategies for smart component selection, layout design, inspection and soldering process control. While ...
