YC162-FR-0747KL

Resistor networks and arrays are essential components in electrical circuits which perform a variety of functions. The YC162-FR-0747KL is a resistor network, or more specifically, a Four-Resistor Voltage Divider Array which is designed to divide a source voltage into four separate parts. It can also be used to combine four separate voltages into one.

The YC162-FR-0747KL consists of four resistors connected to each other through an array of pins. The whole package is soldered onto a printed circuit board (PCB). A reference voltage is supplied to one of the four pins, which is referred to as the common terminal. The remaining three pins each get the output from the resistor network, which can be configured by the user to be either voltage dividing or current splitting. The YC162-FR-0747KL supports a wide range of input voltage (2.25V to 50V) and a wide temperature range (-40°C to +125°C).

In a voltage dividing configuration, each resistor provides a voltage output that is proportional to the reference voltage applied at the common terminal. This proportional voltage - which is also referred to as the “divide ratio” can be calculated as: V_out = kV_in. The “k” is the scale factor of the device, which depends on the value of the resistors and the number of resistors in the network. The YC162-FR-0747KL typically has a divide ratio of 1:4. In other words, it can divide a source voltage of 25V into four separate voltages of 6.25V each.

In a current splitting configuration, the device behaves very similarly to a voltage dividing configuration except that the output voltage of each resistor is now proportional to the current through it, instead of the reference voltage applied. Like the voltage dividing configuration, the output current can also be scaled using the appropriate resistor values for the application. The YC162-FR-0747KL typically has a current splitting ratio of 1:4. This means that it can divide a source current of 5mA into four separate currents of 1.25mA each.

The YC162-FR-0747KL is used in a variety of applications including automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial applications. It is used as a voltage divider to provide stable voltage to sensitive components such as microprocessors and sensors. It is also used as a current divider to provide stable current to LEDs and other power-hungry components. The YC162-FR-0747KL is a simple, reliable, and economical way to divide a source voltage or current into separate components.
