4820P-2-202

Resistor networks and arrays are often used in various applications for signal processing, amplification, attenuation, filtering, and buffering. The 4820P-2-202 is an example of a resistor network designed for applications ranging from low power sensing and signal conditioning to high power amplifiers. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of the 4820P-2-202.

Application Field

The 4820P-2-202 is a 4-pole, 2-resistor network design that is well suited for high-power resistance applications. It is designed to provide resistive elements for various applications such as signal conditioning, differential signal transmission, power control, voltage balancing, and current sensing. It is also suitable for use in noisy environments, as the resistor network is shielded from outside noise sources. Furthermore, the 4820P-2-202 is optimized for high power applications, with a power dissipation rating up to 10W per pole. This makes it an ideal choice for high-power resistance applications.

Working Principle

The 4820P-2-202 operates with two resistive elements that are in series and parallel with each other. This results in a four-pole, two-resistor network. The first resistor is in series with the first two poles, and the second resistor is in series with the last two poles. The first two poles are referred to as the primary poles, while the last two poles are referred to as the secondary poles. The primary and secondary poles function together to form the four-pole network.

The 4820P-2-202 is designed to operate in either a voltage-dividing or a voltage-accumulating configuration. In a voltage-dividing configuration, the network divides the input voltage into two parts, each of which is distributed to its respective primary or secondary pole. This voltage is then distributed throughout the resistor network. In a voltage-accumulating configuration, the input voltage is applied across the primary poles, and the resulting voltage is then accumulated across the secondary poles.

In either configuration, the resistive elements in the 4820P-2-202 function to buffer, attenuate, or amplify the signal. The resistors are designed with precise tolerances that allow them to filter out noise and accurately split and amplify voltage. They can also be used to reduce power consumption in high-power applications.

Conclusion

The 4820P-2-202 is an ideal choice for high-power resistance applications such as signal conditioning, differential signal transmission, power control, voltage balancing, and current sensing. It is designed with two resistive elements in series and parallel, resulting in a four-pole, two-resistor network. This network can be configured in either a voltage-dividing or an accumulative configuration, allowing it to accurately filter, attenuate, and amplify a signal. Furthermore, the 4820P-2-202 is optimized for high-power applications, with a power dissipation rating of up to 10W per pole.
