Resistor Networks and Arrays

Purpose: Integration of multiple resistors in a single package for space-saving and matched performance.

Types:

• Resistor Network (SIP): Single-in-line package with shared terminal or isolated resistors.
• Resistor Array (SMD): Surface-mount packages (e.g., 10x8, 16-pin) with multiple discrete or bussed resistors.

Key Features:

Applications:

• Digital logic pull-up/down networks
• ADC/DAC reference ladder arrays
• Termination for data buses (e.g., I²C, SPI)
• Impedance matching in PCB layouts

Note: Use arrays for better thermal tracking and layout efficiency in high-density designs.
