Choosing a resistor for pulse applications can be tricky business. What is the magnitude of the pulse? How long does it last? How often does it repeat? What is an acceptable resistance range? And then there are the multiple resistor technologies to consider. A typical...

Heat dissipation is a key factor in the design of a power system; in a world where the trend is for more power in a smaller space, are TO-style packages still the best solution? TO packages were originally intended for discrete transistors, in fact TO stands for...

Maintaining a constant temperature around precision resistors is integral to maintaining the stability of a circuit. Even small fluctuations in the temperature of a resistor can cause errors in a circuit due to noise. The relationship between temperature and...
