RF064PJ220CS Resistors

Resistor Networks, Arrays

The RF064PJ220CS is a general-purpose, four-terminal, monolithic chip resistor array containing three separate resistors in the same package. This device is available in three versions, each designed for a different application field. This article will cover the characteristics and applications fields of the RF064PJ220CS as well as its working principle.

Characteristics and Applications

The RF064PJ220CS is a 0.062″ (1.57mm) long surface-mount component constructed of high reliability thin-film technology. This device features a 3-resistor network with two resistors in series, and a third in parallel. The resistors have a resistance values of 100Ω with a tolerance of ±1%. The package is lead (Pb)-free, and the device is RoHS compliant. It has a maximum rated power of 0.5W, and is capable of operating up to a temperature of 85°C.

The three versions of the RF064PJ220CS are designed for different application fields. The first version is used as a basic resistor, and is suitable for providing an adjustable current path when using bridge circuits, such as in amplifier circuits. The second version is used in high-frequency circuits, where a constant voltage or current is desired in order to ensure stable operation and minimize interference. Finally, the third version is ideal for voltage suppression, as it is designed to absorb transient voltage spikes while not affecting system performance.

Working Principle

The RF064PJ220CS’s working principle is based on the principle of resistive networks. This is a framework for combining two or more resistors in such a way that the total resistance of the array is different from the individual resistors. For the RF064PJ220CS, three separate resistors are placed in the same package. Two of them are connected in series, and a third is connected in parallel to the other two.

When connected in series, the two resistors provide a combined resistance that is equal to the sum of the individual resistor values. This is known as the voltage-divider principle, as the total voltage of the system is divided between the two resistors. The second resistor in parallel is connected directly to the first, and its effect on the total resistance is to reduce it. This is known as the voltage-drop principle, as the overall resistance is decreased.

The three resistors in the RF064PJ220CS offer many advantages over traditional resistor networks. These include lower power dissipation, improved signal-to-noise ratio, and reduced component count due to the smaller size of the package. Additionally, they can be used for a variety of applications, from basic resistor networks to high-frequency circuits and voltage suppression. The RF064PJ220CS is an ideal choice for those looking for a reliable and versatile component for their next design.
