VCS1625Z (Z-Foil) Vishay Foil Resistors Ultra High Precision Z-Foil Surface Mount Current Sensing Chip Resistor with TCR of 0.05 ppm/C and Power Coefficient of 5 ppm at Rated Power FEATURES Temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR): 0.05 ppm/C typical (0 C to + 60 C) 0.2 ppm/C typical (- 55 C to + 125 C, + 25 C ref.) (see table 1) Resistance range: 0.3 to 10 (for higher or lower values please contact us) Foil resistors are not restricted to standard values, we can INTRODUCTION supply specific as required values at no extra cost or The Z-foil technology provides a significant reduction of the delivery (e.g. 1.234 vs. 1 ) resistive components sensitivity to ambient temperature Tolerance: to 0.2 % variations (TCR) and applied power changes (PCR). Power coefficient R due to self heating: 5 ppm at rated Designers can now guarantee a high degree of stability and power accuracy in fixed-resistor applications using solutions Load life stability: 0.02 % at 70 C, 2000 h at rated power based on Vishays revolutionary Z-foil technology. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) up to 25 000 V Short time overload < 0.005 % Model VCS1625Z is a surface mount chip resistor designed Power rating: 0.5 W at + 70 C (figure 1) with 4 pads for Kelvin connection. Utilizing Vishays Bulk Non inductive, non capacitive design Metal Z-foil as the resistance element, it provides performance capabilities far greater than other resistor Rise time: 1 ns effectively no ringing technologies can supply in a product of comparable size. Current rating: 5 A maximum 0.05 ppm/C absolute TCR removes errors due to Current noise: < - 40 dB temperature gradients. Voltage coefficient: < 0.1 ppm/V Non inductive: < 0.08 H This small device dissipates heat almost entirely through the Non hot spot design pads so surface mount users are encouraged to be generous Prototype samples available from 72 h.
