Information about Resistor, Capacitor Networks

Resistor, capacitor networks (RC networks) are integrated circuits (ICs) that contain resistor-capacitor arrays in a single chip. Some resistor, capacitor networks are used to suppress transmission-line effects on high speed data lines in order to improve system performance and reduce the cost of passive components. Other RC networks allow loads to be attached anywhere along a line without direct current (DC) power dissipation. Typical applications for resistor, capacitor networks also include the suppression of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) at the input/output (I/O) ports of personal computers (PCs) and peripherals, workstations, local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM).

Chip Resistors

Chip resistors are passive resistors with a form factor of an integrated circuit (IC) chip. Typically, they are manufactured using thin-film technology.

Digital Potentiometers

Digital potentiometers are three-terminal resistors with an adjustable center connection. To set the output resistance, a digital signal is sent through an electrical interface.

Potentiometers, Rheostats and Trimmers

Potentiometers, rheostats and trimmers are three-terminal resistors that are used to measure or divide voltages, and to protect or control circuits.

Power Resistors

Power resistors are used in power generation and distribution, high-voltage applications, control systems, and other power system applications. They include load banks, grounding resistors, and dynamic braking resistors.

Resistors

Resistors are electrical components that oppose the flow of either direct or alternating current. They are used to protect, operate, or control circuits.

Resistors and Potentiometers

Resistors and potentiometers are passive electronic components that oppose the flow of either alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC).

Shunt Resistors

Shunts resistors are connected in parallel with an instrument or component to divert electrical current. They provide an alternate path for current in case of failure.
