Capacitors, resistors, inductors, connectors, and even the printed-circuit board (PCB) are called passive because they don’t have gain or control power like semiconductors or other active devices (see ...

Yageo, a major Taiwanese manufacturer of passive components, has informed customers it will raise prices on specific chip resistors (R-Chip) products starting February 1, citing escalating costs of ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — The inner workings of the world's first analog integrated circuit to incorporate electrically adjustable passive resistors will be described Wednesday at the International Solid State ...

Passive components – resistors, capacitors, inductors, and connectors – usually don’t get a lot of consideration until late in the design, but they are vital elements of a functioning circuit, ...

Price increases for resistors are spreading across the passive components industry. After reported hikes by Taiwan-based ...

A new breed of electronically adjustable resistors promises to ease fine-tuning in sensors and other electronic devices. Adjustable resistors have come a long way from mechanical potentiometers set ...

Until recently, the limiting factor in high-temperature electronics has been the degradation in semiconductor properties of the active components used. However, with recent advances in ...

[jefffolly] published some straight forward plans for a passive volume control. It uses a resistive ladder built across the contacts of 12W rotary switches. Each resistor provides a 5dB difference, ...
