SOTA – High Frequency Resistors

SOTA’s High frequency chip resistors are available in a wide range of resistance values and are designed to minimize loss at higher frequencies. High frequency resistors made using thin film materials have lower loss at high frequency than resistors made using thick film materials. High frequency resistors with values from 5 to 200 ohms can be made using thin film materials. Thick film materials are used to produce high frequency resistors with resistance values from mΩ to MΩ.

Surface Mount Chip Resistors
Wraparound termination type C is used at frequencies <4 GHz. At frequencies >4 GHz, inductive losses associated with the wraparound degrades performance. Flip chip mounting (film side down) reduces the inductive losses while providing a solder fillet that is readily inspected.

The planar terminations of the A termination type minimize inductive losses at higher frequencies when the device is flip chip soldered (film side down).
