How trimming affects thick-film resistor performance
Ordinary thick-film resistors can display varying qualities depending on how the manufacturer elected to trim the device. It pays to know what to look out for. Kory Schroeder, Stackpole Electronics Inc. Surface-mount thick-film chip resistors are the predominant type of resistor in electronic circuits today. This technology is inexpensive; thick-film resistors are produced by screen-printing […]
Four-terminal shunts provide precision current sensing
Low resistance values are important for high-efficiency current sensing because lower values mean less wasted power on the current sensing measurement itself. But sensing low resistance values accurately becomes challenging because of lead resistance errors. Using a four-terminal shunt resistor eliminates the detrimental effects of lead resistance on the current sensing measurement operation. The HCSK1216 provides […]
