RM3216B-103/503-PBVW10 Datasheet/PDFResistor networks, also known as resistor array or resistor combination, is an array of resistors which are all connected in parallel or in series to one another. Resistor networks are usually used in electric, electronic, and signal processing applications in order to change the behavior of an electrical circuit, or to divide a voltage or current of a circuit. In simple words, a resistor network is useful for controlling the current in a circuit.
RM3216B-103/503-PBVW10 resistor network is an ultra-precision resistor network array used in high-end electronic designs. This series is designed to give designers superior performance and accuracy compared to other resistor networks.
Application field
The RM3216B-103/503-PBVW10 network is a cost effective and reliable solution for high-end design applications. The precision resistor network array, which offers high impedance, is perfectly designed for applications that require a precise current sensing or a precise voltage dividing. Such applications include fire detection systems, liquid level sensing, low-power analog processing, and current sensing circuits. This series of resistor networks also offers good low-noise performance when used in applications that require low-noise performance such as audio pre-amplification and signal conditioning.
Working principle
RM3216B-103/503-PBVW10 resistor network offers high impedance, low thermal noise generation, and low power consumption. The network consists of one pressure-sensitive resistor and one low-impedance thin film resistor in series. A thin-film resistor is made from a metal alloy layer, which is then covered with a non-conductive ceramic layer. These resistors have very high accuracy and low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR). The resistors in this series have a TCR between 0.05% and 2.5%, depending on the model.
The resistor networks offer high-precision resistors for current sensing or voltage dividing. The pressure-sensitive resistor provides a constant current source, which can be adjusted by the user to the desired level. The thin-film resistor provides an adjustable voltage source to the circuit. This adjustable voltage source is necessary to ensure that the user’s desired current level is maintained.
The RM3216B-103/503-PBVW10 resistor network is also designed to provide a low thermal noise generation, which reduces signal noise in applications such as audio pre-amplification and signal conditioning. This reduces the distortion of the signal and increases the signal-to-noise ratio.
Moreover, the RM3216B-103/503-PBVW10 network is designed to be low-power consumption, making it the ideal choice for any applications requiring a low-power option. This means that the user can reduce power consumption and maintain the desired levels of current or voltage for longer periods of time.
The RM3216B-103/503-PBVW10 resistor network is a reliable, cost-effective and superior performance product, designed to meet the most demanding applications. Its design offers a precise current sensing or voltage-dividing, low thermal noise generation and low power consumption, making it the ideal choice for any high-end design.
