Resistors are one of the most basic yet crucial components in all electronic devices, but what do they actually do, and how ...

Elaborating on a Flip ON Flop OFF circuit with a circuit that allows for a multi-state 10-position switch or a DAC.

He came up with Ohm Sense, an iPhone app that will take a picture of a resistor and calculate the value based on the color bands. It’s a great tool that we wish we had when we were starting out.

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 ...

Unfortunately, while most public guidelines for estimating resistor aging are reasonably conservative, the issue is designers are following typical data and advertising hype and not the actual limits ...

One of the questions we're often asked about Mopar ignition systems is whether or not the ballast resistor is a necessary item. In fact, there seems to be a lot of mystery surrounding this part ...

Resistor values are measured in Ohms, which indicates electrical resistance. A brand new, still-in-the-packaging resistor should have its Ohms value printed out for easy reading, but any resistors ...

The solution is easy: add a load resistor to the plumbing. Rick is busy trying to convert webBikeWorld to the new responsive design. So he asked me to install a load resistor on the BMW F800S and ...

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).
