A short primer on using resistors in circuit design

I get somewhat annoyed when I hear engineers who have some real-world experience or exposure casually dismiss a component, especially a passive one, as “simple.” It may be simple in concept or ...

Using Copper Traces As Ballast Resistors Ensures Balance

The data sheet for the LT3080 linear voltage regulator suggests using printed-circuit-board (PCB) traces for ballast resistors. Although the LT3080’s low offset voltage suits it well for this ...

Should you use discrete resistors or a resistor network?

In most operational amplifier (op amp) circuits, the resistor tolerance and resistor temperature coefficient determine the gain accuracy and gain temperature drift (Figure 1 shows a typical circuit).
