Analog Devices, Inc. Approves Alpha Electronics RWB Series Resistors for Use with Its New AD74413R Integrated Circuit Solutio...
July 29 2020 - 8:00AM
VPG Foil Resistors, a product group of Vishay Precision Group, Inc.
(NYSE:VPG) and a manufacturer of the industry’s most precise and
stable precision resistors, today announced that Analog Devices has
approved Alpha Electronics RWB100R0AL and RWB2K000AL Bulk Metal®
Foil technology resistors for use with their new AD74413R
integrated circuit solution.
The AD74413R is a quad-channel software configurable
input/output solution for building and process control
applications. Analog Devices noted that the outstanding stability
and precision of the RWB100R0AL and RWB2K000AL resistors complement
the performance and the AD74413R in real world applications.
Specifically, the AD74413R datasheet calls for an external 100 Ω
‘RSENSE’ resistor used to measure current output, current input,
and RTD values. Analog Devices noted that the accuracy and
stability of this resistor directly affect the performance of the
circuit. The Alpha Electronics RWB100R0AL resistor was approved by
Analog Devices for ‘RSENSE’ due to its outstanding tolerance of
0.05%, TCR of ±2 ppm/°C max. and load-life stability of ±0.005%
typical (70°C, 2000 hrs., rated power).
In addition, an external current limiting resistor of 2 kΩ
(ideal) is required for the SENSEH_x pin. The accuracy of this
resistor directly affects the RTD specifications. Analog Devices
approved the Alpha Electronics RWB2K000AL for the SENSEH_x resistor
due to its tight tolerance of 0.05%, TCR of ±2 ppm/°C max. and
ultra-low capacitance.
Made in Japan, the RWA/RWB/RWC Series resistors from Alpha
Electronics, a brand of VPG Foil Resistors, feature low TCR of ±2
ppm/°C and resistance tolerance as low as ±0.01% in three
case sizes: 0603 (RWA Series), 0805 (RWB Series), and 1206 (RWC
Series). Produced with Bulk Metal® Foil technology, the RWA/RWB/RWC
Series devices are optimized for industrial applications that
require resistors with extremely tight load-life stability of
±0.005% typical at 70°C and rated power for 2,000 hours. In these
applications, the devices provide superior TCR (temperature
coefficient of resistance), long-term stability and pulse handling
capability when compared to thin-film resistors.
Samples and production quantities of the RWB100R0AL and
RWB2K000AL are available now.
