Calculators that pick real parts.

Every answer comes back as a standard E-series value with its error, current and power — the numbers you need before ordering. Instant, in your browser, nothing sent anywhere.

Calculators

Voltage divider
Instant

Vout from Vin and two resistors, or the best standard pairs for a target Vout — with tolerance range and load effect.

Regulator feedback resistors
Instant

Feedback pairs for any Vref, for feedback-pin parts and three-terminal adjustables, with the bias-current term, worst-case range and divider-current guidance.

Ohm’s law and power
Instant

Any two of V, I, R, P give the other two, plus the nearest standard resistor and a power rating with margin.

LED series resistor
Instant

The resistor for one or several LEDs in series, rounded up to a standard value, with actual current and power rating.

Resistor colour and SMD codes
Instant

4, 5 and 6-band colours, 3 and 4-digit SMD marks and EIA-96 codes, both directions.

Op-amp gain resistors
Instant

Inverting or non-inverting: the standard pair closest to a target gain, with the input impedance it implies.

Resistor ratio finder
Instant

Standard values for two or three resistors in fixed ratios, such as R1:R2 and R1:R3, or for a switchable divider with two attenuations. Ranked by the worst ratio error.

Divider with offset
Instant

Bipolar to unipolar level shifter: R1, R2 and R3 that map, say, −10…+10 V onto 0.2…4.8 V for an ADC, with the real Vout, currents and source impedance.

Battery life
Instant

Capacity, sleep and active current and wake interval give an estimated run time, with the sleep-vs-awake energy split.

ADC resolution
Instant

Vref and bit width give the LSB size and counts↔volts both ways, with an optional input divider for battery monitoring.

Number converter
Instant

Decimal, hex, binary, octal and ASCII, live, with a clickable bit grid at 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits and signed two’s-complement.

PCB trace impedance
Instant

Trace width for a target impedance, or the impedance of a width: microstrip and stripline, single or differential pair, with 4-layer stack-up presets.

NTC thermistor
Instant

Beta or Steinhart–Hart in; temperature, pin voltage, ADC code and °C per LSB out, with the fixed resistor for your range and the Beta error.

Thermocouple (K, J, T, E…)
Instant

Millivolts to °C and back for eight types, with the cold junction compensated in volts and °C per LSB for your amplifier and ADC.

Resistor power fault analysis
Instant

Worst-case voltage and current against one resistor rating, standard or typed in: the largest and smallest R that survive the fault, from 0201 to 10 W.
