Introduction to Resistor Networks, Arrays and HTRN20-1T5

Resistor networks, also called resistor arrays, are groups of resistors connected in a specific arrangement to produce a particular electrical effect. These arrangements are generally used to attenuate, equalize, or otherwise shape signals, or to form electrical filters.The HTRN20-1T5 is a type of resistor network specifically designed for differential mode applications, most commonly in high performance servo amplifier systems. In addition to its differential attenuation capabilities and extremely low crossover distortion, it also provides very low active component count.

HTRN20-1T5 Application Field and Working Principle

The HTRN20-1T5 has been developed with the intent of providing a high-performance, low-cost solution for attenuating differential signals in servo amplifier systems. The device’s modular design allows it to achieve wide range frequency response with adjustable levels of attenuation. Its architecture is designed to provide very low crossover distortion which is important for maintaining linear servo loop responses.

The HTRN20-1T5 is capable of providing differential signal gain or attenuation over a wide range of frequencies. It is designed to provide a high input impedance and low output impedance, making it ideally suited for use with low level signals, such as signals generated by piezoelectric sensors. The device is also capable of achieving very low crossover distortion, which is essential for maintaining linear servo loop responses.

The HTRN20-1T5 is a differential signal gain or attenuation device that utilizes a Four-Resistor Network topology. This network consists of four resistors connected in a series configuration. Two of the resistors are adjustable, while the remaining two are fixed. The adjustable resistors allow for differential gain or attenuation to be adjusted over a wide range of frequencies.

The HTRN20-1T5 is capable of providing up to 20dB of differential gain or attenuation over the frequency range of 0.2 to 500kHz. The device is especially useful for applications that require low distortion, as it has very low crossover distortion. The device is also capable of providing extremely low active component count, which helps to reduce the overall cost of the system.

Conclusion

The HTRN20-1T5 is a four-resistor network that provides wide range frequency response with adjustable levels of attenuation. It is well suited for use in high performance servo amplifier systems due to its low active component count, low crossover distortion, and wide-range frequency response. The device can be used to provide up to 20dB of differential gain or attenuation over the frequency range of 0.2 to 500kHz.
