Linear Tech has introduced a power and energy monitor for 0V to 15V DC supply rails with an integrated sense resistor. Most power and energy monitoring ICs use an external sense resistor to measure current. However, choosing a sense resistor is not an easy task, especially when dealing with high currents, where available sense resistors …

Mike Meakin got in touch with EW to describe an over-heating problem he found with his BBC micro:bit. It looks like that one of the chips on some micro:bits is getting very hot. It happened with his, and he has found two bloggers that refer to similar events: Suppertime Andre Boulton The second of which …
