Thin-film, centre-tapped resistors


A NEW thin-film, centre-tapped, dual-value resistor that enables more flexible hybrid circuit designs has been announced by Vishay Intertechnology, represented in Australia by Braemac.

The CTQ resistor chip, which measures just 0.030” by 0.030”, provides low shunt capacitance of <0.1pF and low-noise operation for high performance in hybrid circuits for test and measurement systems.

The versatile new resistor chip, from Vishay Electro-Films, gives the user three value choices - total value, one-half value, or one-quarter value - depending on the wire-bond configuration, while six bonding pads enhance layout flexibility.

Each CTQ chip manufactured through Vishay's sophisticated thin-film manufacturing process features a high-stability, self-passivating and moisture-resistant tantalum nitride resistor element and a quartz substrate.

CTQ resistors offer a wide resistance range of 10Ω to 1MΩ, and at lower power levels, can provide lower shunt capacitance than is available in silicon-based resistors.

Tight tolerance values down to 0.1% are available, with TCR values from ±25ppm/°C to ±100ppm/°C. TCR tracking between resistor halves is ±2 ppm/°C, and centre tap ratio tolerance is available to ±0.1%.

The resistor features a typical noise figure of -35dB in a 100Ω to 250kΩ range and just -20dB at values <100Ω or >251kΩ. The new device provides a maximum operating voltage of 200V, a dielectric breakdown voltage of 400V, and a 60mW dc power rating at +70°C.

Electrically tested and visually inspected to MIL-STD-883, CTQ resistors feature resistance to thermal shock and high-temperature exposure and are specified for an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

They are suitable for use with other Vishay products including wire-bondable capacitor chips, inductor chips, user-trim resistor chips, and other quartz parts such as QFM, QFN, and QFX single-value resistor chips.
