If you’ve been following along our USB-C saga, you know that the CC wire in the USB-C cables is used for communications and polarity detection. However, what’s not as widely known is that there are ...

This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...

As the world of electronics makes its inexorable movement from through-hole parts to surface-mount, it’s easy to forget about the humble wire-ended resistor. But a stack of them is still a very useful ...

What kinds of applications utilize precision resistor trimming? Obvious applications include setting operational-amplifier gain and offset and voltage regulator output (Fig. 1a and 1b). But there are ...

In 2012, Vishay Foil Resistors (VFR) celebrated 50 years of leadership in precision resistors, starting with the invention by Dr. Felix Zandman of the Bulk Metal® Foil resistor in 1962. Dr. Zandman, ...

The 100/600 series, CR/BR/CC, and CRM/BRM panel mount LEDs target front or rear panel mounting. The pre-wired assembly of a red, green or yellow bipolar LED and a resistor work directly from 120 or ...
