Application Fields and Working Principle

The design of the RK102PJ102CS makes it well adapted for general-purpose temperature sensing applications. The resistor network features two levels of resistance at each of the four resistor elements and an equal division of the total resistance between connected pins. This makes it well suited for multiple sensor systems, such as temperature and pressure sensors. The network is commonly employed in industrial, automotive, and consumer applications, due to its impressive capability of working in relatively harsh environments.

Working Principle

The RK102PJ102CS resistor network functions in a way similar to an operational amplifier with negative feedback. This property enable an output signal proportional to the voltage drop across the connected pins. For any set of operating voltages, the resistance of the pins is equal to the total resistance divided by the number of pins in the network. Variations in operating temperature results in changes in the resistor values due to the materials’ thermal coefficients.
