Comment on Virgin Physicists
JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org 3 weeks agoA big aspect of good design is being able to solve an issue as succinctly as possible, with as wide an operating range as possible. Lower tolerance requirements = better.
If you need that level of precision, you might want to reconsider your career in circuit design.

You can’t tell me that there isn’t a good reason that 0.001% resistors exist. Otherwise why sell them?

4 Sig figs vs 9 Sig figs is a big gap. If you need your resistors in a circuit to be precise to 9 Sig figs, seek a new career.
It is almost always possible to take a system and make it more precise by using more precise parts (just gotta make sure you know what part you are changing to improve what tolerance). You do get diminishing returns with that, but it beats inventing a new system if the tolerances you need are just alittle ways away.
