Vishay Intertechnology Releases New Ultra-Performance Bulk Metal(R) Foil Resistor, IR Receiver Module, and Optocoupler Devices

foil resistor is the first resistor product to offer a temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of 0.2 ppm/degrees C (-55 degrees C to +125 degrees C) -- an industry breakthrough. It combines the lowest ever TCR with tolerance to 0.005%. The new Z201 ultra-performance aerospace and instrumentation resistor, housed in a through-hole package, will be used for precision analog applications in test and measurement equipment, telecommunication test circuits, process control, and guidance circuits. Its nominal TCR was reduced to -0.2 ppm/degrees C from -55 degrees C to +25 degrees C and +0.2 ppm/degrees C from +25 degrees C to +125 degrees C. This is a five-fold TCR improvement over the best previously available foil resistor and a ten-fold improvement over standard foil resistors.
The new Vishay Telefunken TSOP7000 IR receiver module features one of the best data handling capabilities in the industry and enhanced immunity against light disturbances. It combines a photo detector and preamplifier in a single compact package, features a 455 kHz carrier frequency and is optimized for use in multimedia end products and applications, including Interactive TV, video conferencing systems, game controllers, interactive toys, wireless keyboards and mice, and remote controls. The TSOP7000 can handle up to 20 kbit/s at a transmission distance of up to 20 meters. Featuring an internal band filter, the TSOP7000 is optimized for PCM frequency, and additionally offers TLL and CMOS compatibility.
The new Vishay Telefunken Miniflat optocoupler devices feature a 2-mm height profile -- one of the industry s thinnest for this device type. The new four-pin optocouplers each consist of a phototransistor optically coupled to a gallium arsenide infrared-emitting diode. Intended for current isolation, the eight new TCMT11xx Miniflat optocouplers released today are optimized for miniaturized products such as PCMCIA cards, notebook modems, telecommunications products, programmable logic controllers, and other designs requiring a high level of package integration. Built on Vishay Telefunken co-planar technology, the Miniflat optocouplers ensure maximum safety and reliability by providing a stable distance between the emitter and detector chips.
