Today, designers of analog circuits are demanding
discrete power current sense resistors that approach the
ideal in performance … stable, high speed, high accuracy
components that will operate with assured, predictable
reliability for years in a variety of environments. Foil is
meeting those demands with the VCS232Z of unequalled
performances.
These four fundamental factors determine how “ideal” a
precision power current sense resistor will be:
1. Initial resistance value or how closely the absolute
resistance value can be achieved
2. How precisely the value of individual resistors can be
controlled
3. How precisely the end of life tolerance is maintained
under a wide range of operating conditions and stress
factors (temperature, humidity, load, etc.)
4. Fast response without ringing and fast thermal
stabilization - and the ability of the resistor to react to
rapid switching without adversely affecting the circuit
function.
Until the development of Foil resistors, precise control of all
four factors was virtually impossible.
Foil VCS232Z resistor containing the latest version of Z-foil
achieves maximum stability, a near zero temperature
coefficient and the ability to remove errors due to
temperature gradients. This superior performance is built-in
for every unit and does not rely on culling or other artificial
means for uniform excellence.

Vishay Foil Resistors
POST MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS OR PMO FOR IMPROVED EOL
Many analog applications can include requirements for
performance under conditions of stress beyond the norm and
over extended periods of time. This calls for more than just
selecting a standard device and applying it to a circuit. The
standard device may turn out to be all that is needed but an
analysis of the projected service conditions should be made
and it may well dictate a routine of stabilization known as
post manufacturing operations or PMO. The PMO operations
that will be discussed are only applicable to Bulk Metal Foil
resistors. They stabilize Bulk Metal Foil resistors while they
may be harmful to other types. Short time overload,
accelerated load life, and temperature cycling are the three
PMO methods that do the most to remove the anomalies
down the road. Bulk Metal Foil resistors are inherently stable
as manufactured. These PMO methods are only of value on
Bulk Metal Foil resistors and they improve the performance
by small but significant amounts. Users are encouraged to
contact Foil applications engineering for assistance in
choosing the PMO operations that are right for their
application.
