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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Passive component makers have seen their commodity MLCC and chip resistor inventory swell since the second half of this year, as a result of sluggish demand for consumer electronics products, and they ...

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 ...

Taiwan passive components makers are losing no time fulfilling shipments of MLCCs, chip resistors, inductors and aluminum electrolytic capacitors to clients who are striving to stockpile more ...

[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, ...
