Linear Devices in Electronics

A linear device in an electronic is any device that has a proportional current and voltage relationship. Some common linear devices on a PCB include capacitors, inductors, and resistors. When it comes to designing your PCB, you should be able to choose your devices based not only on their function but also on price and availability.

Altium Designer can help you make informed choices for your electronic projects with its innovative ActiveBOM technology. ActiveBOM lets you, the designer, view live links to suppliers, so you can choose a linear device based on sound information.
