Designers of instruments or control systems often find that component performance limits overall equipment performance in areas such as stability, frequency response, noise, and ESD. This is ...

In Part 1 of this five-part series, we examined FET voltage controlled resistors, basic voltage controlled resistor circuits, and a balanced or push pull voltage controlled resistor (VCR) circuit.

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Precision management of battery systems requires solutions such as resistor dividers, which offer remarkable specs to meet design demands. The vision of electric ...

This simple circuit supports charging of NiCd cells at high rates (1C) while avoiding common problems caused by overheating or overcharging which can degrade performance and even damage the cells. The ...
