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:
| Parameter | Typical Value/Info |
|---|
| Resistance Range | 10Ω – 10MΩ |
| Matching Tolerance | ±0.1% to ±1% |
| Power Rating | 0.1W – 0.5W per resistor |
| Package Types | SIP, DIP, SOIC, TSSOP |
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.
