MNR18ERAPJ223

The MNR18ERAPJ223 is a resistor network made up of two resistor chips, each in an 8 pin J configuration. It is intended to solve some of the common problems associated with using traditional resistors for dealing with high power or high frequency applications. It offers a simple and cost effective way to reduce power dissipation and noise in power electronics and radio-frequency applications.

Application Field

The MNR18ERAPJ223 can be used in applications ranging from low- to high-power requirements and frequencies up to 800 MHz—with both series and parallel arrays. It addresses the needs of companies in the following areas: automotive electronics, consumer electronics, industrial lighting, medical electronics, power converters, set-top box, and transportation electronics.

The MNR18ERAPJ223 is ideal for both high power and high frequency applications. It is sometimes referred to as a “one-stop shop” for resistor networks. It can be used to create different high-impedance devices for a wide range of applications such as: filters, attenuators, voltage dividers, decoupling networks, or other networks requiring multiple resistors in series or parallel configurations.

Working Principle

The MNR18ERAPJ223 consists of two 8-pin discrete resistor chips that are connected in parallel. This helps divide the overall resistance into that of each of the two individual resistors, in effect giving two resistors in a single package. The two discrete resistors elements are connected internally in order to keep the total resistance constant. This gives the MNR18ERAPJ223 the ability to handle higher power and offer consistent high-impedance performance.

In applications involving both high frequency and high power, the MNR18ERAPJ223 can be used to reduce power dissipation and noise. It also provides a mechanism for switching between different resistance values. This is made possibile by connecting the two resistors in series to create a variable resistor network. By altering the resistance of either of the two resistors, the total resistance of the MNR18ERAPJ223 can be changed according to its desired function.

The MNR18ERAPJ223 is useful for certain high-frequency applications requiring high power as it offers noise suppression and reduces power dissipation. Additionally, by using the variable resistor configuration, multiple resistance settings can be achieved. This makes the MNR18ERAPJ223 a versatile and effective resistor network.
