Building the resistor from printed-circuit board (PCB) copper is attractive; arbitrary values can be provided inexpensively. The ever-shrinking world of electronic assemblies requires minimizing the physical size of this resistor, which can present a power-dissipation issue that must be resolved to provide a reliable solution.<br /> </ br><br /> </ br><br /> </ br><br /> </ br><br /> </ br><br /> </ br><br /> </ br></p> <p><a href="http://dev.emcelettronica.com/pcb/application_minimum_size_copper_sense_resistors">read more</a></p> http://dev.emcelettronica.com/pcb/application_minimum_size_copper_sense_resistors#comments RESOURCES Pcb Coopper MIC5156/7/8 Resistor Thu, 24 Jan 2008 22:01:11 +0100 Chris 51613 at http://dev.emcelettronica.com
