Board space is always at a premium, especially when it comes to passive components. However, designers in high-reliability markets are looking for more than just tiny devices; they also need ...

One thing that never changes in the passive component market is miniaturization. Whether it is shrinking the size of the capacitors and resistors or packing higher performance in the same package size ...

In my May blog post, I described the construction of a low-pass filter that used op-amps, capacitors, and resistors. I ignored thermal drift, long-term accuracy, and other characteristics and tested ...
