VPG – Crucial trade-off considerations for the selection of precision resistors

The choice of components for every application typically involves tradeoffs. When it comes to resistors, several device technologies are available to designers and each of them makes sense for a certain subset of applications, depending on cost-benefit-risk analyses. But when the application requires initial accuracy, minimal change with temperature, stability over time and load, resistance to moisture, and a number of other characteristics, the choices are more limited. An informative new article, from Vishay Precision Group (VPG), looks at the options.
