There are so many applications for power resistors that they cannot be easily tabulated. Discussed here are a few practical, useful applications that you will find interesting. First an image with ...

One of the biggest contributors to power loss in power conversion circuits (DC-DC, AC-DC) are resistive losses when the semiconductor switches are in the ON stage. In order to create industry-leading ...

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). But there are ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has launched a new AEC-Q200 qualified thick film power resistor, the MCB ISOA200, in the compact SOT-227B package designed for heatsink mounting. This device, which can ...

If you’ve ever worked with guitar pedals or analog audio gear, you’ve probably realized the value of a resistor decade box. They substitute for a resistor in a circuit and let you quickly flick ...

Capacitors, resistors, inductors, connectors, and even the printed-circuit board (PCB) are called passive because they don’t have gain or control power like semiconductors or other active devices (see ...

When the thermistor is placed in a warm environment it has a resistance of \(100 \Omega\). We can calculate the voltage across the thermistor under these conditions. First find the total resistance of ...

As [Electronoobs] points out, everything has resistance. So, how hard can it be to make a high-power resistor? In the video below, he examines a commercial power resistor and how to make your own ...
