4416P-T02-820

Introduction

The 4416P-T02-820 is an 8-pin surface-mount resistor network array. It is designed to share the same basic resistor network principles and design tools as other resistor networks, such as the 43902P and 4416Q-T02 models. It follows the basic 7-pin resistor network design of the 43902P and the 8-pin resistor network design of the 4416Q-T02, but is intended to work with a 1/8" or a 1/16" site density on a 0.06"-wide or a 0.05"-long board.

Application Field

The 4416P-T02-820 resistor network array is designed specifically for applications that require connective resistance elements, such as earth ground protection, wave shaping circuits, power lines, and switching and stabilization circuits. This device is ideal for use in a wide range of projects, including electronic instrumentation, analog-to-digital converters, signal tracing applications, audio circuit protection, and noise-inhibition systems. It can also be used in automotive electronics, computer and telecommunications systems, as well as medical instrumentation.

Working Principle

The 4416P-T02-820 resistor network array consists of two individual resistors connected in series or parallel. The resistors are connected to either an 8-pin miniature dual in-line package (DIP) or an 8-pin surface-mount (SMT) package. The 8-pin package is also referred to as the 4416P-T02-820-SS, meaning the surface-mount version. The resistors in these packages are available in both standard pin-outs and low-leakage pin-outs. Both pin-outs feature a common ground pin, which connects both resistors in the package, and is used to minimize leakage currents when using two separate components in the same package.

The 4416P-T02-820 resistor network array uses two resistors to create a two-terminal network connection, with each terminal connected to a different resistor. The two resistors can be connected in series or in parallel, depending on the desired resistance value. When connected in series, the overall resistance is equal to the sum of the two resistors’ individual resistances. When connected in parallel, the overall resistance is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of the two resistors’ individual resistances. This type of network provides low output impedance, and is easy to design and troubleshoot. Additionally, it allows for a wide range of sensitivity, as these resistor networks can accommodate change in both resistors’ values due to aging or temperature variations.

Conclusion

The 4416P-T02-820 resistor network array is a versatile device designed for a wide range of applications. It is capable of providing low output impedance with a wide range of sensitivities, making it ideal for use in high voltage and/or current applications. It can be used in a variety of applications, including electronic instrumentation, signal tracing, audio protection, and more. Its simple design and construction make it easy to design and troubleshoot, making it a popular choice for users of all skill levels.
