There’s a small, silent component hiding in almost every electronic device—from your phone and laptop to your TV and charger.

But, it turns out, a thermometer has been part of photonic chips all along.

From instrument amplifiers to precision analog circuits to geophones, resistor networks are used in a variety of applications. Each has its own unique requirements, but none more stringent than the ...

An electronic component that is used to vary the amount of current that flows through a circuit. It works by sliding a wiper terminal across a resistive material, typically a thin film or chunk of ...

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 ...

The discovery eliminates the need for bulky external sensors and could make future photonic chips—used in data centers, ...

Hackaday Editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi meet up virtually to talk about the week’s top stories and hacks, such as the fine art of resistor trimming and lessons learned from doing overseas ...

Groomed for use in small-motor control circuits, the HSF series surface-mount, surge resistor exploits a cylindrical design to aid heat dissipation and produce higher surge/pulse capabilities than ...
