In all kinds of engineering, we build on abstractions in a kind of inverted pyramid. Lots of people can, for example, design a system using ready-made building blocks on printed circuit boards. Fewer ...

Resistor: A passive chunk of material that resists the flow of electrical current. A terminal is connected to each end you’re done. What could be simpler? It turns out it’s not so simple at all.

A wirewound resistor is another type of resistor manufactured by winding a thin metal alloy wire, usually Nickel/Chromium (Nichrome) or Copper/Nickel/Manganese (Manganin), around a ceramic, plastic, ...

I admit I just walked by microchip maker Rohm‘s booth at this year’s CEATEC 2011, but the Japanese company actually showcased something very interesting: it developed the world’s smallest chip ...

ROHM has unveiled a new series of sintered metal shunt resistors designed to meet rising power and reliability requirements in automotive and industrial current sensing applications. The new UCR10C ...
