An earlier Design Idea described how to linearize the output of an RTD (resistance-temperature-detector) sensor and how to calculate the resistor values using a spreadsheet (Reference 1). That idea ...
One of the first things you learn in electronics is how to identify a resistor’s value. Through-hole resistors have color codes, and that’s generally where beginners begin. But why are they marked ...
Download this article in PDF format. Determining the resistor values and assuring performance of the circuit associated with a photocoupler (also called an optocoupler or optoisolator) is simple in ...
