What's New @ AVX - Issue 7

IPD Resistor SeriesPASSIVE MICRO-COMPONENTSPrecision Laser Trimmable Resistor NetworksTo provide designers with miniaturization, integration, and precision tolerance, AVX nowoffers thin film SiCr low and high voltage (1000V) ball grid array (BGA), land grid array (LGA),or gold or aluminum wire bondable resistor networks. Offering industry leading SiCr materialwith the unique properties of very high resistivity and tailorable TCR, AVX thin film resistorsoffer advantages designers need and demand. Customers can select resistor values from 47ohmsto 20megaohms, and TCRs from +25 to 250 ppm. AVX also offers TaN resistor material with aTCR of -100 to -150ppm in 0.5 to 1megaohms resistance ranges.Applications:• Medical• Military• Industrial• Hybrid• Automotive• Telecom• Applications where spacing savings,precision tolerance, and low leakagedevices are criticalKey Features/Benefits:• SiCr material offers an industry leadingblend of high resistance up to20megaohms in conjunction withadjustable TCR from +25 to 250 ppm• PMC materials and processing expertiseallow these products to be offered aslaser trimmed devices, or devices thatcan be trimmed at the customer,“in-circuit” for unsurpassed tuning.Additional Comments:AVX also offers “Center Tap Resistor” style products using SiCr technology.Custom applications and designs are welcome.26
