Foil resistors; tight
resistance tolerance, fast response time, low TCR, and
exceptional long-term stability, are available for power-circuit
applications. Typical applications are non-inductive design,
current sensing applications, deflection amplifiers, constant
current power supplies, forced balance electronic scales,
graphic display computers, character generation on CRTs,
and electron beam controls.
