In part 1 of this blog, we managed to establish the framework for a data table to allow us to evaluate each possible combination of the whole range of resistors. The next step is to populate the data ...

The Excel cell formula below calculates the nearest standard 1%-resistor value without using a lookup table or macro. Type or electronically paste the text below into any cell (other than A1). The ...

I have often wondered whether the practice of using a ratio of two resistors to determine a particular output is a fundamental property of electronics or a concerted effort by designers. In either ...
