Using standard resistor values can greatly impact the accuracy and predictability of a circuit by eliminating rounding errors incurred at the end of the design. Selecting resistor values traditionally ...

To calculate resistor values, we need to use Kirchhoff's Law: The sum of currents into a node is zero. Considering the node at the junction of the three resistors, we can write: ...

This Design Idea explains how you can use Excel to calculate the values of two passive components—resistors, inductors, or capacitors—from the standard E-Series, which comprises E6, E12, E24, E48, E96 ...
