Higher power ratings for compact low-resistance current-sense resistors

The CSRF Series from Stackpole, a foil on ceramic carrier technology which offers very low resistance values and low TCR in small chip sizes, now offers a higher power rating version.

Using proprietary materials and manufacturing processes, the CSRF0402-HP has a power rating of 0.25W and the CSRF0603-HP has a power rating of 0.5W. Both high power devices have TCR ranging from 75ppm to 200ppm and offer resistance values down to 5mohm.

Applications include power management for a wide variety of consumer electronics, battery management for portable electronics, voltage regulators, robotics, motor controls, flash memory and storage, and small panel solar power conversion.
