Resistor array

Jump to: navigation, search

A resistor array is a single package which contains more than one resistor. They are typically used for convenience when several resistors are needed together in the same place in a circuit. There are many different sizes ranging from two resistors to several dozen. And there are also several different circuit configurations, sometimes with each resistor isolated, and sometimes with one side of each resistor connected to a common point.

There are specialized resistor arrays for bus termination (with pull-up and pull-down resistors connected to power and ground respectively). And arrays which form voltage divider chains (as for multi-meters with different measurement ranges). And arrays for digital-to-analog converters (DAC), either binary-weighted, or R-2R ladders, etc.
