Selecting the Best Resistor Technology for the Application
|
 Vishay engineering
director Yuval Hernik has a brief primer posted on EDN discussing considerations
when selecting resistors for your design.
Resistors seem like - and are - the simplest of electronics elements
(other than wires), but a thoughtless selection could spell doom as surely as the wrong
transistor or transformer. Aside from special properties that must be accounted for in
high frequency circuits (stray reactance, composition), there are 'design centering'
needs to account for tolerances in resistance, temperature coefficient, and mechanical
environment.Posted December 2012 |
