Product Description
Why thin film resistor networks? A terminating resistor is
used to reduce or eliminate unwanted reflections on a
transmission line. It can perform this function only when
its resistance value matches the characteristic imped-
ance of the transmission line. The resistors used for
terminating the transmission lines should be noiseless,
stable and functional at high frequencies. Unlike thin
film-based resistor networks, conventional thick film
resistors used for terminating transmission lines are not
stable over temperature and time and impose system
performance limitations at very high frequencies.
Peripheral devices like disk drives, printers, and CD
ROMs are connected to host through a special bus
called SCSI (Small Computer System Interface). The fast
edge rated signals that are transmitted through the SCSI
cable generate ringing on the bus. This will slow down
communication between host and peripherals. The SCSI
standard recommends proper resistor (Thévenin)
termination at host and peripheral locations to eliminate
transmission line effects.

Networks offer high integration and performance in a
miniature QSOP or SOIC package, which saves critical
board area and provides manufacturing cost and
reliability efficiencies.
