The RP102PJ224CS is a chip-scale, high-performance resistor network device that operates as a precision voltage-dividing element in a wide variety of industrial, electronic, and telecom applications. It is designed to maximize precision, eliminate power noise, and create minimal heat. This specialized resistor network features high accuracy, low-profile, and wide resistance values.

The RP102PJ224CS is a 4-channel resistor array chip and is made from thin-film, thin-film, high-performance, low-cost polysilicon (SiO2) material. It is comprised of four thin-film resistors on a single chip. It features 12-bit resolution and 4-channel spacing to provide the most accurate and reliable voltage distribution over a wide range of resistances. It provides a highly accurate linear signal chain that is suitable for use in a wide range of DC and AC circuits. Due to its low-profile design, the chip also takes up minimal board space and can easily be integrated into existing designs.

Working Principle

The RP102PJ224CS\'s working principle is a form of the current-division rule of resistors to achieve voltage division. It works by dividing the applied voltage or current between the different resistors according to their resistance, with the middle two resistors sharing the most amount of the load. For example, if a voltage is applied to the first resistor, the resulting output at the second resistor is 1/4 the total voltage applied, while the third and fourth resistors receive a combined output of 3/4 of the total voltage applied. This allows the RP102PJ224CS to accurately divide the voltage or current between the four output channels in a linear way without the need for complex external circuitry or components.

Application Field

The RP102PJ224CS is most commonly used for automotive and industrial applications including motor control, audio delay line, multiplexing, power-supply voltage division, current sensing, level shifting, product testing, and linear power supply. As an automotive application, it can be used for sensors that require fast response and high precision, such as crankshaft, camshaft, and engine knock sensors. It is also ideal for audio and video amplifier test systems that need accurate level shifting and voltage/current distribution. In industrial applications, the device can be used for complex power distribution where precise and reliable voltage/current division is essential.

The RP102PJ224CS is also suitable for telecom applications due to its high accuracy and efficient power distribution. This enables the device to be used in mobile phone base stations, RFID readers, and GPS receivers. By using this chip in a power system, a designer can achieve a reliable and efficient power distribution that meets the needs of a wide range of remote and mobile communication devices. The device\'s low power consumption makes it suitable for low-power applications, such as those in medical applications and IoT devices.
