GQ8A021692GAT Description

The GQ8A021692GAT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-performance thin-film resistor network designed for precision applications requiring stable resistance values and low temperature coefficients. This 8-resistor network features a 16.9K Ohm resistance per element with a tight 2% tolerance and a ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring reliable performance across a broad temperature range of 70°C to 125°C. Housed in a 16-pin QSOP ceramic package, it offers excellent thermal stability and durability, making it suitable for demanding environments. The isolated (ISOL) circuit design ensures minimal crosstalk between resistors, while the gull-wing termination facilitates easy surface-mount (SMD) assembly. With a 0.75W (3/4W) total power rating and 100V maximum voltage rating, this network is ideal for high-density PCB designs.

GQ8A021692GAT Features

• Precision Thin Film Technology: Delivers stable resistance with ±50ppm/°C TCR for minimal drift.
• High Power Handling: 0.1W per resistor (0.75W total) enables robust performance in compact layouts.
• Ceramic QSOP Package: Enhances thermal dissipation and mechanical strength compared to plastic alternatives.
• Isolated Resistor Design (ISOL): Reduces interference in multi-channel circuits.
• Wide Operating Range: Functions reliably from -55°C to +125°C (derated above 70°C).
• Gull-Wing SMD Terminations: Compatible with automated pick-and-place processes.
• Non-Automotive, Non-PPAP: Suitable for industrial and commercial applications.

GQ8A021692GAT Applications

This resistor network excels in:

• Analog Signal Conditioning: Precision voltage dividers in sensor interfaces.
• Medical Electronics: Patient monitoring systems requiring low-noise performance.
• Test & Measurement Equipment: Calibration circuits and reference networks.
• Industrial Control Systems: Isolated feedback loops in motor drives or power supplies.
• Telecommunications: Impedance matching in RF modules.

Conclusion of GQ8A021692GAT

The GQ8A021692GAT stands out for its ceramic-packaged isolation, thin-film accuracy, and high-power density, making it a superior choice over plastic-cased networks in harsh or precision-critical environments. While not RoHS-compliant, its QSOP footprint and 16-pin configuration optimize space-constrained designs. Engineers will value its low TCR and 2% tolerance for applications demanding long-term stability, such as medical or industrial systems. For non-automotive projects requiring reliable, high-performance resistor networks, this model delivers exceptional value.
