#175945 - Drifting in electronic components
One thing that has really confused me is about drifting in electronic components/circuits. Is temperature the only factor?

For example, I have a +5V dc power supply (in my lab) that would drift to +4.9V after half an hour. If power is cycled, the output would return to +5V.

Is there any standard design technique that can minimize(or cancel) drift?
