Electronics calculator

Type values with prefixes: 4.7k, 2k2, 10m, 100n, 4R7, 1M.

Ohm's law and power

Fill in any two. The other two are calculated.

Series and parallel

Enter values separated by commas or spaces.

Voltage divider

Vout is measured across R2 (the bottom resistor).

Find R1 for a target Vout

Gives the exact value and the nearest E24 standard resistor.

Current divider

Two resistors in parallel sharing a total current.

RC time constant

A capacitor charging through a resistor. Target voltage is optional.

555 timer

LED series / parallel designer

Typical Vf: red 2.0 V, yellow 2.1 V, green, blue and white 3.0–3.3 V.

Battery pack calculator

Cells in series add voltage. Cells in parallel add capacity.

Li-ion battery runtime

For devices that sleep, enter the sleep current and the share of time spent active.

Wire resistance

AWG accepts 0–40 and 1/0 to 4/0. Round trip counts the return wire too.

Resistor color code

—

Value to bands

Uses the band count selected above (4 or 5 bands).

SMD resistor code

3-digit (103), 4-digit (1002), R notation (4R7, R10) or EIA-96 (01C).

Capacitor code

3-digit code in pF, with optional tolerance letter (104K, 225J, 4n7).
