INTRODUCTION
The 2R, 3R, 4R Resistor Networks are the designers first
choice for ultra high precision, stable and reliable
Voltage Divider or Network.
The Z-Foil Technology provides a significant reduction of the
resistive components sensitivity to ambient temperature
variations (TCR) and applied power changes, self-heating
(PCR). 0.05 ppm/ꢀC Absolute TCR removes errors due to
temperature gradients.
• Non hot spot design
• Current Noise: < - 40dB
• Rise time: 1ns without ringing
• Non Inductive: < 0.08µH
• Voltage Coefficient < 0.1 ppm/V
• For better performances please contact us
• Terminal Finishes available:
Lead (Pb)-free
The ꢁR, 3R, 4R provide a unique, inherent combination
of performance characteristics resulting in excellent
performance and high reliability, satisfying the needs of
today’s expanding requirements.
The availability of low absolute TCR and low PCR, provides a
good cost solution for the variability of other components
when compiling the total error budget.
