Resistor Design Introduction

Rohm, a semiconductor manufacturer, develops and provides a wide range of products including next-generation devices, discrete components, LSIs, and modules. In particular, we provide various information and tools such as electronic fundamental knowledge and simulation to assist in application development and design.
 
In this webinar, we will cover the topic of "Introduction to Resistor Design," introducing the fundamentals of resistors, which are indispensable in circuit configuration, as well as precautions when using them. 

Now, let me outline the agenda for this webinar. 

The first topic is about what resistors are.
We will first explain the definition, types, and classification of resistors, as well as characteristics according to structure, and will describe the manufacturing process using Rohm's representative chip resistors as an example.



The second topic will be about resistor terminology.
Using Rohm product model number composition as an example, we will introduce which terminology is important in resistors, explain how to understand the basic resistance value and tolerance, as well as rated power and voltage in the datasheet, and discuss how resistance changes with temperature.



The third topic is about resistor reliability specifications.
We will categorize the representative test items in resistor reliability testing and explain each reliability item. Additionally, we will explain the representative standards AEC-Q and MIL specifications.

The fourth topic will introduce Rohm's resistor development trends and lineup.
We will introduce the characteristics of various special resistor types and shunt resistor series developed to meet market demands for high power and space savings.



We hope this webinar will be a good opportunity to understand the fundamentals and applications of resistors.
