Resistors & resistor networks applications

Resistor terminology

Resistor terminology explained.

Specifiying high voltage resistors

The use of high voltage resistors in a high voltage circuit presents the designer with a unique set of problems in design and specification such as: voltage rating, voltage coefficient, power dissipation, temperature coefficient and long term stability.

Energy formulae

Useful formulae for pulse energy calculations. 

Using low ohm ( current sense ) resistors

Using 4 & 2 terminal resistors in current sensing applications & potential error sources.

Resistor network specification tool

A tool to help the designer specify a resistor network.
