Subject: Resistor Calculation
Message:
With regard to resistor calculations, how can I determine theta EC. I had thought that it was calculated using (storage temp - max operating temp) / resistor power rating. This gives me huge numbers, greater than 600 deg C / W. What should I be doing?

Thanks, Sue
