Sudden current or voltage changes are often hazardous to electronic products. For example, transients or surges that reach microprocessor or memory components can destroy those expensive parts, and wipe out critical programming and data. Many electronic products now...

Modern industrial automation applications demand high performance instrumentation. A well-established technique is to use 4-to-20 mA current-mode transmission (rather than voltage signal) between process sensors and data-processing system elements. This method is...

In today’s world, pulses are common in electronic circuits. When these pulses encounter a resistor with high reactive components, they are distorted. If the resistor has high inductance, current through it will have a sluggish, slow rise time. The current will...

RTDs or Resistance Temperature Detectors are widely used to measure temperatures in all kinds of industrial products. In many cases PT100 or PT1000 is specified. PT100 stands for 100 Ohm Platinum RTD, PT1000 stands for 1000 Ohm Platinum RTD. Platinum, a precious...
