This slide covers the concept of temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) and its significance in resistor performance. The TCR is a property that describes the resistance change in a resistor as the temperature varies. It is influenced by the thermal energy component of crystal lattice imperfections. TCR values are determined using standardized methods, such as MIL-STD-202 Method 304, and are a result of the resistor's construction and materials. Understanding and considering TCR are essential in selecting resistors that meet the requirements of specific applications.
