4818P-2-122

Resistor networks and arrays are an essential tool for most complex circuit design applications. They are commonly used in a wide variety of products, including automotive, aerospace, medical, and industrial applications. Some of the more versatile applications of resistor networks and arrays are the optimization of data signals, protection circuits, oscillator networks, and signal conditioning. The 4818P-2-122 application field and working principle is no exception, as the device offers a powerful, reliable, and versatile solution for a range of applications.

The 4818P-2-122 is a network of two-terminal resistors. It has a total of twenty-four terminals, sixteen of which are for the resistor array, six are for the input, and two are for the output. The 4818P-2-122 is designed to reduce the number of components used in complex circuit applications. It is made up of chips of various resistance values and the total resistance value is determined by the combination of these chips. It is also important to note that the 4818P-2-122 is voltage-controlled, meaning that the resistance of the network can be varied by changing the voltage applied to it.

The 4818P-2-122 is most commonly used in applications requiring a low cost, reliable, and flexible resistor network. It is ideal for designs with limited space, as the device is only 4mm in length, 1mm in width, and 0.5mm in height. It is also a great choice for applications requiring a resistor network whose resistance can be varied using a voltage input. This advantage of the 4818P-2-122 is further enhanced by its wide variety of resistance values, ranging from 10Ω to 10KΩ.

Application examples of the 4818P-2-122 range from data acquisition to serial communication. In data acquisition, the device is commonly used to improve the dynamic range of an ADC by providing a differential input. In serial communication, the device can be used to improve noise immunity by providing a voltage controlled termination to the link. In addition, the 4818P-2-122 is often used in conditioning circuits, where its adjustable resistance and low power dissipation make it ideal.

The simplest way to understand the working principle of the 4818P-2-122 is to think of it as a group of sixteen individual resistors. When a voltage is applied to the input terminals, the resistance of the network is adjusted by changing the resistance of each element in the array. This adjustment of the resistance values allows the user to fine-tune the output voltage of the network, depending on their specific application needs. The output voltage can also be maintained by applying a constant voltage at the input terminals.

In conclusion, the 4818P-2-122 is a powerful, reliable, and versatile solution for a range of applications. The device is ideal for complex circuit designs requiring a low-cost, flexible resistor network, and its voltage-variable design allows for fine-tuning of the output voltage. These advantages make the 4818P-2-122 an attractive choice for data acquisition, serial communication, and conditioning circuit applications.
