I get somewhat annoyed when I hear engineers who have some real-world experience or exposure casually dismiss a component, especially a passive one, as “simple.” It may be simple in concept or ...

The data sheet for the LT3080 linear voltage regulator suggests using printed-circuit-board (PCB) traces for ballast resistors. Although the LT3080’s low offset voltage suits it well for this ...

The progress in digitization has profoundly changed our lives. There is no area of everyday life to which digital circuits haven’t penetrated. Ever more powerful microcontrollers and data converters ...

Resistors are a type of electrical component which are widely used in electrical circuits. In fact, they are one of the most widely used and most important components of an electrical circuit. In ...

How to treat sub-milliohm chips as a separate class of component. Strategies to avoid pitfalls during component selection and PCB layout design. Uncover opportunities ...
