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 ...

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 ...

Maybe the most common applications for very-low-value resistors (i.e., milliohms (mΩ) and below) are current-controlling circuits, where their low value reduces power losses. For these applications, a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

The concept of negative resistance has always fascinated me. Of course, a true negative resistance is not possible, and what is meant is a negative differential resistance (NDR). But of course knowing ...

For prototype electronics projects, most of us have a pile of resistors of various values stored somewhere on our tool bench. There are different methods of organizing them for easy access and ...
