GS7B0256R2DCT

GS7B0256R2DCT Description

The GS7B0256R2DCT from TT Electronics/IRC is a high-precision bussed resistor network designed for demanding surface-mount applications. Housed in a 14-pin narrow SOIC (SOIC-C) ceramic package, it integrates 13 thin-film resistors with a 56.2Ω resistance value and an exceptional ±0.5% absolute tolerance (±0.25% ratio tolerance). Its ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient ensures stability across a wide operating range of 70°C to 125°C, derated for power. With a 100V maximum voltage rating and 0.05W (1/20W) power rating per resistor, it balances compactness (8.66mm × 5.99mm × 1.45mm) with robust performance. The gull-wing termination and 1.27mm terminal pitch facilitate reliable PCB mounting.

GS7B0256R2DCT Features

• Ceramic Construction: Enhances thermal management and durability in harsh environments.
• Bussed Network Design: Simplifies circuit layout by connecting multiple resistors to a common node.
• High Precision: ±0.5% tolerance and ±50ppm/°C TCR for critical analog/digital systems.
• Thin-Film Technology: Delivers low noise and stable performance over temperature.
• Compact SOIC Package: Ideal for space-constrained designs (8.66mm × 5.99mm footprint).
• Wide Voltage Range: Supports up to 100V, suitable for industrial and automotive (non-AECQ) applications.

GS7B0256R2DCT Applications

This resistor network excels in:

• Voltage Division Circuits: Precision dividers in sensor interfaces or ADCs.
• Bus Termination: Signal integrity in high-speed digital systems (e.g., CAN, SPI).
• Industrial Controls: PLCs, motor drives, and power supplies requiring stable resistance.
• Test & Measurement Equipment: Calibration circuits due to low tolerance drift.
• Consumer Electronics: Compact analog front-ends where board space is limited.
