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

Electricity powers everything from your phone to your refrigerator—but have you ever wondered how it’s controlled inside a ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

What kinds of applications utilize precision resistor trimming? Obvious applications include setting operational-amplifier gain and offset and voltage regulator output (Fig. 1a and 1b). But there are ...

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 ...

Moving the position of the slider on this resistor, changes the length of wire in the circuit which changes the resistance. A variable resistor is used in some dimmer switches and volume controls. As ...
