This article shows how thin-film chip resistor arrays can positively affect a circuit’s electric stability while at the same time minimizing the area required. Using the example of a voltage divider, ...

He also experimentally verifies and elucidates on the purpose of each. The resistor does nothing by itself, it’s there to protect the diodes. The diodes are there to protect the MOSFET.

If you had never heard it before, the term “zero-ohm resistor” might seem at best like an oxymoron or, at worst, some sort of ...

In practice, resistor non-idealities can affect various circuit parameters such as common mode rejection ratio (CMRR), harmonic distortion and stability. For instance, as shown in Figure 1, a ...

Calculating the appropriate resistor values for a photocoupler isn’t complicated, but some basic min/max considerations must be acknowledged in when doing the analysis.

In National 5 Physics examine the current and voltage in series and parallel circuits to formulate rules and determine unknown values.

A fourth circuit element called memristor (the first three being resistors, capacitors and inductors) has been proposed since 1971, but HP labs has finally made a working physical model of the ...
