See hard disk. Parts In Brief... -- Drop in replacements to thin and thick film 0805 Resistor Chips -- Fastest lead time currently offered in the industry -- Tolerance of +/-0.1% and temperature coefficient of +/-25ppm/(Degree)C -- Built using the proven reliability characteristics of Tantalum tantalum (tăn`tələm) [from Tantalus], metallic chemical element; symbol Ta; at. no. 73; at. wt. 180.9479; m.p. 2,996°C;; b.p. 5,400±100°C;; sp. gr. 16.65 at 20°C;; valence +2, +3, +4, or +5. Nitride -- Immediately available in resistance range of 40K-ohms to 150K-ohms (Nasdaq NMS See NetWare Management System. : CAMD) -- California Micro Devices Corporation (CAMD) announced today the availability of FCRN FCRN Funds Classification Reference Number 303 series SMD resistor chips, which are drop-in replacements to traditional 0805 chips, such as the PTN PTN - Physical Transport Network Series thin film resistors from Vishay. The FCRN303 chips are built using a highly stable Tantalum Nitride resistor film and offer absolute tolerances as tight as +/-0.1% and Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR TCR T cell receptor. ) as low as +/-25ppm/(Degree)C. Additionally, the devices offer low noise and low voltage coefficient. According to Ashok Chalaka, Vice President of IPD IPD Institut für Programmstrukturen und Datenorganisation IPD Investment Property Databank (UK) IPD Integrated Product Development IPD Intellectual Property Department IPD Invasive Pneumococcal Disease IPD Implicit Price Deflator marketing, "CAMD has responded to a significant shortage of precision 0805 resistors in the market by providing a drop-in replacement using our Chip Scale technology. Within 2 weeks of receiving a call from a customer, our engineers developed a part that fits the socket using proven, available in-house technology." Current lead-times in the industry for precision 0805 resistors are running as high as 24 weeks. CAMD is offering the FCRN303s in 4-6 weeks. "CAMD's FCRN303 series resistors have helped us in avoiding costly production-line shortages that would have taken place due to lack of product availability from our existing 0805 suppliers," said Mark Ho-Chung-Qui, Component Engineer/Project Manager at Nortel Networks. FCRN303 devices are built on ceramic substrates with solder bumps, like Chip Scale parts, for direct placement onto printed circuit boards. The high precision and stability make these devices ideally suited for a wide variety of applications such as voltage dividers, current sensing and precision gain setting/matching. CAMD currently offers a wide resistance range from 40K-ohms to 150K-ohms, and a variety of tolerances and TCRs. Other resistor values and configurations other than 0805 are available with slightly longer lead-times. These chips can replace existing thick and thin film 0805 resistor chips without the need for PC board redesign or modification. Pricing for the devices in 10K quantities is $0.19. Samples are available now and production lead-times are 4-6 weeks ARO. Headquartered in Milpitas, California, California Micro Devices designs, manufactures and markets integrated thin film, silicon-based termination, filtering, and active electronic circuitry. Built in ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. 9000-registered quality system environments, California Micro Devices' products target the requirements of computer, networking, and communication-based customers for smaller, high density devices that operate at high frequencies with superior performance and functionality.
