Working Principle

The SOMC140122K0GEA resistor network devices operate based on resistance and current changes, both of which are related. The resistors in the network have various values and are in a linear sequence, which affects the overall resistance of the network. The resistors are connected in an array with various combinations through connections, which cause current to travel throughout the network in certain patterns.

The current is used as a signal for transmission or dialogue as the signal can be varied, encoded, and redistributed according to the resistors’ values. These variations can be modulated and used in audio or video signals for transmission, and are the basis for many analog systems. The values of each resistor can influence the output of the network to generate a wide range of signals.
