FULLERTON, CA (November 11, 2009) – Providing design engineers with increased flexibility in circuit layout, TT Electronics BI Technologies now offers a passive voltage divider engineering sample kit. Designated SFN06VDKIT, the sample kits contain several different versions of the company’s SFN Series voltage dividers, which feature two ultra-stable precision thin film resistors. Connected in series, the resistors are packaged in a SON (QFN) 6-pad package measuring 2mm2 with a 0.65mm pitch – 40% smaller than voltage dividers in three-lead SOT23 packages.

“With the small package size and variety of resistance values available, the voltage divider sample kit provides design engineers with increased circuit layout flexibility, ” said Mike Torres, fixed film product manager for BI Technologies. “Our customers can now prototype their designs to best meet specific voltage divider and gain setting circuits in military, aerospace, industrial, and medical applications.”

The SFN06VDKIT engineering sample kit contains eight voltage dividers, two each of the following part numbers:

• SFN06VD03CBQLF – SON 6-pad voltage divider with R1/R2 resistance values of 5K§Ù/20K§Ù;

• SFN06VD05CBQLF – SON 6-pad voltage divider with R1/R2 resistance values of 20K§Ù/20K§Ù;

• SFN06VD07CBQLF – SON 6-pad voltage divider with R1/R2 resistance values of 10K§Ù/20K§Ù;

• SFN06VD10CBQLF – SON 6-pad voltage divider with R1/R2 resistance values of 10K§Ù/10K§Ù.

All SFN Series voltage dividers feature absolute tolerance to ±0.25%, ratio tolerance to ±0.1%, TCRs to ±25ppm/°C and maximum TCR tracking to ±5ppm/°C. Custom circuits are also available upon request. The SFN Series voltage divider datasheet can be viewed at http://www.bitechnologies.com/pdfs/SS1_series_datasheet.pdf.
