INTRODUCTION
The ultra high precision FRSM is based on the new
generation Z1 Foil Technology of the Bulk Metal
®
Foil
resistor elements by Vishay Foil Resistors (a VPG brand),
which makes these resistors virtually insensitive to
destabilizing factors (for more information about stresses
and destabilizing factors please refer to Tech Note 102:
www.vishaypg.com/doc?63135).
Their element, based on
the Z1 Foil Technology is a solid alloy that displays the
desirable bulk properties of its parent material; thus, it is
inherently stable (remarkably improved load life stability
of 25 ppm), noise-free and withstands ESD to 25 kV or
more. The alloy is matched to the substrate and forms a
single entity with balanced temperature characteristics for
an unusually low and predictable TCR over a wide range
from –55°C to more than 175°C. Resistance patterns are
photo-etched to permit trimming of resistance values to
very tight tolerances.

FRSM Series
ABOUT THE FRSM SERIES
Several factors need to be considered when choosing a
resistor for applications that require long term stability,
including TCR (ambient temperature), Power TCR (self
heating), load-life stability for more than 10K hours
(instead of the typical 1000 or 2000 hours load-life),
end-of-life tolerance (which is more important than
the initial tolerance), thermal EMF (low values, D.C),
thermal stabilization and ESD. Some precision resistor
technologies such as Precision Thin Film offer designers
tight initial tolerances as low as 0.02 % but have poor
load life stability, high end-of-life tolerance, long thermal
stabilization, high drifts during operational life and
ESD sensitivity. Other resistor technologies, such as
Wirewounds, provide low absolute TCR and excellent
current noise of -40 dB but have high inductance and
poor rise time (or thermal lag) for more than a few
seconds.
There are essentially only three resistance technologies
widely used for precision resistors in military and space
applications: Thin Film, Wirewound and Bulk Metal
®
Foil. Each has its own balance of characteristics and
costs that justify its selection in these applications. Thin
Films are most cost-efficient within their normal range of
characteristics but have the highest TCR, highest noise
and have the least stability of the three technologies.
Wirewounds have low noise, low TCR and a high level of
stability at moderate cost but also have high impedance
and slow signal response. Wirewounds can also have a
higher power density, but some stability is lost through
temperature cycling and load-life when made in smaller
configurations. Bulk Metal Foil resistors have the
lowest noise, lowest TCR, highest stability and highest
speed of any technology but may have a higher cost,
depending upon model. With Bulk Metal Foil resistors,
savvy designers often save overall by concentrating the
circuit stability in the Bulk Metal Foil resistors where
exceptional stability allows for use of less-costly active
devices—an option not available with other resistor
technologies because Bulk Metal Foil foil requires a
smaller total error budget through all cumulative resistor
life exposures. Also, Bulk Metal Foil often eliminates extra
circuitry added merely for the purpose of correcting the
limitations of other resistor components. FRSM Bulk
Metal Foil resistors, based on new generation technology
and improved production methods starting from
February 2011, offer designers the complete set of top
performance characteristics to simplify circuitry and lower
overall system costs by reducing the number of required
parts while assuring a better end product. The new series
of FRSM feature a long-term load-life stability within
0.0025% after 2000 hours and 0.005% after 10000 hours
under full rated power at +70°C, first time in the history of
all resistor technologies. In addition to their low absolute
TCR of almost zero TCR , the devices offer Power TCR
(“∆R due to self heating”) to ±5 ppm at rated power; tight
tolerance from 0.01% and thermal EMF of 0.05 μV/°C.
The causes of resistor drift are listed in Table 4 and
the allowances shown are for full scale exposure. The
designer may choose to use a percentage of full scale
stress factor if the equipment will never see the full

scale conditions. For example, a laboratory instrument
that is expected to be permanently installed in an air-
conditioned laboratory does not need an end-of-life
allowance for excessive heat. There are other reasons for
tolerancing the resistors tighter than the initial calculation:
Measurement equipment accuracy is traditionally ten
times better than the expected accuracy of the devices
under test. These tighter tolerance applications require
a high precision resistor. Also, the drift of the resistor
without any stress factor considerations results in a shift
over time that must be considered. FRSMs have the least
amount of time shift. The manufacturer’s recommended
recalibration cycle is a factor in the saleability of the
product and the longer the cycle, the more acceptable the
product. Bulk Metal Foil resistors contribute significantly
to the longer calibration cycle.

To acquire a precision resistance value, the Bulk Metal

chip is trimmed by selectively removing built-in “shorting bars.”
To increase the resistance in known increments, marked
areas are cut, producing progressively smaller increases in
resistance. This method reduces the effect of “hot spots” and
improves the long-term stability of Bulk Metal

PULSE TEST
Test Description and Results
All parts baked at +125°C for 1 hr and allowed to cool at room
temperature for 1 hr, prior to testing. By using an electrolytic
0.01 μF capacitor charged to 1000 VDC, a single pulse was
performed on 20 units of 1206, for each value: 100Ω, 1 KΩ and
10 KΩ of surface mount Bulk Metal
®
Foil resistor and thin film
resistor. The unit was allowed time to cool down, after which
the resistance measurement was taken and displayed in ppm
deviation from the initial reading.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
µF
Rx
ESD can be categorized into three types of damages:
Parametric Failure
occurs when the ESD event alters
one or more device parameters (resistance in the case of
resistors), causing it to shift from its required tolerance.
This failure does not directly pertain to functionality; thus
a parametric failure may be present while the device is still
functional.
Catastrophic Damage
occurs when the ESD event
causes the device to immediately stop functioning. This
may occur after one or a number of ESD events with
diverse causes, such as human body discharge or the
mere presence of an electrostatic field.
Latent Damage
occurs when the ESD event causes
moderate damage to the device, which is not noticeable,
as the device appears to be functioning correctly.
However, the load life of the device has been dramatically
reduced, and further degradation caused by operating
stresses may cause the device to fail during service.
Latent damage is the source for greatest concern,
because it is very difficult to detect by re-measurement
or by visual inspection, since damage may have occurred
under the external coating.

Test Description and Results
By using a electrolytic 500 pF capacitor charged up to 4500 V,
pulses were performed on 10 units of 1206, 10 kΩ of three
different Surface Mount Chip Resistors technologies, with an
initial voltage spike of 2500 V (Figure 7). The unit was allowed
time to cool down, after which the resistance measurement was
taken and displayed in ppm deviation from the initial reading.
Readings were then taken in 500 V increments up to 4500 V.
POWER COEFFICIENT OF RESISTANCE
(PCR)
In precision resistors with low TCR, the self heating (Joule
effect) causes the resistor not to perform strictly to its
TCR specifications. This inaccuracy will result in an error
at the end in the resistance value under applied power.
Vishay Foil Resistors introduced a new concept of Power
Coefficient of Resistance (PCR) along with a new Z-Foil
technology which leads to reduction of the sensitivity of
precision resistor to ambient temperature variations and
changes of applied power.
Figure 9 represents PCR behavior of three different
resistor technologies under applied power.
