Current-sense chip resistors shrink

By Gina Roos, editor-in-chief

Stackpole Electronics has introduced the CSRT thin-film current-sense chip resistor family in an 0201 package with resistance values from 10 mΩ to 10 Ω and a temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) as low as 50 ppm. The TCR range is 50 to 100 ppm, depending on the resistance value.

Target applications include small handheld consumer electronics, handheld measurement equipment, low-voltage battery management, and LED drivers. The chip resisters are available direct or through Stackpole’s authorized distributors.
