Resistor Networks, Arrays

The Y1485V0458BA9W is an important element of resistor networks, arrays. Generally, resistor networks, arrays are printed components, with the electronic component or individual component arranged in a certain pattern and set on one board or commonly referred to as printed circuit board (PCB). These resistors are connected in series or parallel as per the requirements. Thus, a resistor network, array is available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and complexities.

Overall Working Principle

In the most basic way, the Y1485V0458BA9W can be pictured as a large number of resistors connected in series, parallel, or both. Each of the individual resistors have their own function, with the total resistance determined by the highest value of all the individual resistors. This is the combination of the resistance value of each of the individual resistors. This combination of resistors can be either fixed or variable, depending on the application.

Application Field

The Y1485V0458BA9W is mainly used for telecommunications, automotive, industrial, and medical applications. The most common telecom application involves providing a high input impedance to a high-frequency AC signal. This is achieved by connecting a large number of resistors in parallel, in order to supply a much larger input impedance. The same principle can also be used for interfacing purposes, wherein a few resistors are connected in series in order to provide a high output impedance.

The Y1485V0458BA9W has also a variety of industrial and automotive applications, such as resistance dilution, amplifier input impedance matching, grounding, signal conditioning, signal isolation, and signal level shifting. In addition, they are used in medical devices, such as in vital sign monitoring devices. Also, these resistor networks, arrays are popular in the fields of circuit protection, noise filtering, and biasing.
