Resistor Networks, Arrays

A CSC06A01100KGPA, or Combination Surface Mount Resistor Array, is an electronic device designed to produce a known resistance in a circuit. Such arrays usually consist of four or more discrete resistors and are typically small and surface-mountable, due to their size and construction. They can be used to limit current flow, measure voltages, and provide protection for components by automatically turning off when a predetermined level of current is reached.

Application Field

Resistor networks, and array components are commonly found in a wide range of products, including automotive and consumer electronics, cell phones and other mobile devices, and computer systems. Resistor networks and arrays offer a great deal of flexibility as well as simplified assembly when compared to discrete resistors.

Resistor networks and arrays are also used in renewable energy systems where their ability to limit current can be used to create the precise voltage drops needed to efficiently charge batteries used to store energy. Resistor networks and arrays can also be used as a series of cascading resistors used to create an analog voltage divider.

Working Principle

CSC06A01100KGPA resistor networks and arrays work by replacing multiple individual resistors with a single multi-resistor component. This allows the design engineer to condition a signal from one component to another in a compact and organized manner. For instance, in a DC circuit, a resistor network may be used to limit current to a certain component, to provide a known voltage output from an amplifier, or to improve the noise immunity of a circuit.

In an AC circuit, a resistor network may be used to create a series of cascading resistors that are tailored to attenuate different frequency ranges, thereby creating a band-pass filter. The various resistors may also be interlaced with various capacitors or inductors to form active components such as amplifiers, filters, and oscillators.

Conclusion

RSC06A01100KGPA resistor networks and arrays are widely used in both high-frequency and low-frequency applications, in addition to those already listed. These components offer a high degree of flexibility and compact build, making them ideal for use in today’s space-constrained designs. They are also very reliable and can be manufactured with tight tolerances, making them well-suited for today’s high-performance applications.
