Resistor Networks, Arrays

Resistor networks, or resistor arrays, are complete circuits comprising of several resistors connected in predetermined patterns. They are designed to divide, attenuate, or otherwise modify the input and output voltages of a current in a desired way, and are usually used in multiplexing, voltage-dividing, signal attenuating, current limiting, isolation and filtering applications. The 4816P-T01-221LF is one such resistor array – an 8-pin chip array designed for various signal and power distribution applications.

The 4816P-T01-221LF is an 8-terminal surface mounted array, with two per pin. Each pin has two resistors connected in parallel for low-impedance, low-inductance operation. It can provide one or two element resistors with the high accuracy of a chip resistor, while its small size and signal density makes it useful in higher frequency applications. It features a total resistance of 221 ohms, and a power rating of 130mW. Its tolerances are within +/-0.5% and a maximum frequency of 200MHz.

The 4816P-T01-221LF can be used in a variety of signal and power distribution applications. It is often used to quickly build termination networks, impedance matching networks, and buffer amplifiers in RF designs, and can provide additional stability in advanced current-controlled components. This chip array is also useful for signal-chain filters, voltage dividers, and multiplexer biasing, where its highly accurate and repeatable resistance make it an ideal choice for these applications.

The working principle of a resistor network is simple. Resistors are connected in series and parallel with each other to create the desired resistance. When a voltage is applied to the network, it generates a voltage divider that divides the input voltage into a predetermined pattern and delivers a modified output. The output voltage is then used in the desired application. This behavior of resistor networks is especially useful for limiting the voltage and current in circuits, and for attenuating and equalizing signals.

The 4816P-T01-221LF is a highly accurate signal and power distribution chip array that is perfect for use in high frequency applications. With its low impedance, low inductance and tightly controlled tolerances, it offers superior signal integrity. It’s small size and signal density also make it useful for applications such as RF circuits, and for multiplexer biasing, voltage divider circuits, and other signal and power distribution applications.
