The temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), also referred to as RTC, is a performance characteristic that is heavily influenced by resistor construction for very low resistance values and can be ...

A quick calculation: To estimate a battery’s internal resistance, you can use a simple voltage-drop method when the ...

The resistance and conductance of a battery are two parameters that can be used to determine the health of battery strings and identify failed cells. As the two different values have a such a close ...

This multimeter add-on is called the Half Ohm. It allows you to measure small resistance values, and can be used to track down shorts on a PCB. The board acts as a pass-through for both probes. When ...

Adjusting the volume dial on a sound system, sensing your finger position on a touch screen, and knowing when someone’s in the car are just a few examples of where you encounter variable resistors in ...

The impact of on-resistance on MOSFETs. The role of temperature coefficient in comparing different MOSFETs' on-resistance. What type of FET has the lowest conduction losses? There's nothing quite like ...

Troubleshooting refrigeration equipment often requires measuring various electrical properties such as voltages, current flows, and resistances. Understanding these basic electrical fundamentals and ...

When evaluating shrinking metal linewidths in advanced semiconductor devices, bulk resistivity is not the sole materials property for deriving electrical resistance. At smaller line dimensions, local ...

Stackpole announced the release of its new thick film sample kits. The sample kits feature Stackpole's RMCF Series general-purpose thick film chip resistors with 1% tolerance values. These thick film ...

Unconventional metal structures have begun popping up in integrated circuits (ICs) with increasing regularity, for a number of reasons. The growing demand for integrated cameras and image recognition ...
