NEW!How Can the High Voltage Intelligent Battery Shunt Reference Design Benefit You? A shunt resistor, also known as a current shunt resistor or an ammeter shunt, is a low resistance component placed in series with a load to measure voltage drop when current flows through it. This voltage drop, measured by an analog to digital converter (ADC), is directly proportional to the current, enabling accurate current measurement using Ohm's Law.
NEW!Why Do Conductive Polymer Capacitors Have Low ESR? This makes them ideal for compact, high-performance applications like smartphones and automotive electronics, balancing cost and efficiency. This article discusses the fundamentals of polymer capacitors, their types, and benefits.
