TC164-FR-07422RL

Resistor Networks, Arrays

The TC164-FR-07422RL is a type of Resistor Network, an array of resistors connected in a particular configuration to achieve a predetermined electrical resistance. These networks are used in a wide range of applications including signal conditioning, current sensing, voltage regulation and power regulation. The TC164-FR-07422RL is a 4-resistor network, with a total resistance of 22 ohms in a surface mount construction.

Working Principle

Strictly speaking, the TC164-FR-07422RL is not a true resistor network, as it does not operate on the same principles of resistive divider networks. Instead, it uses two floating resistors, each individually connected to each end terminal, and two fixed resistors. The floating resistors are designed to move to adjust for wide tolerance of the fixed resistors. This movement of the floating resistors changes the resistance of the entire resistor network, and makes it possible to achieve a precise resistance value within a wide tolerance range.

Power is delivered to the resistor network through the two end terminals, and a current is passed through each of the four resistors. The current passing through the floating resistors causes them to move until they form a resistance value within the required tolerance. This movement is very small, and the total resistance of the network does not change significantly.

Application Fields

The TC164-FR-07422RL is used as a part of electrical systems, and it can be used to regulate power and voltage. It is also used for signal conditioning, such as filtering or level shifting. These networks are particularly useful in applications that require a precise resistance with a wide tolerance range, such as radio frequency applications.

The TC164-FR-07422RL is also widely used in automotive and industrial applications. In automotive applications, they can be used for power and voltage regulation, current sensing, and signal conditioning. They are also commonly used in industrial systems, such as industrial automation and HVAC systems, as well as in medical, aerospace, and military applications.
