PRODUCTION DATA
As alluded in Section 6.1, the RES31A is typically used as an input signal level-shifter or voltage divider. This circuit is generically drawn in the following figure.
Often, RG and RIN act as RX and RY respectively in this circuit. Substituting these terms gives a transfer function of:
Because GVDx is a direct function of Gx, the ratio tolerance error tVDx of these voltage-divider circuits is a direct function of tDx. Typical and maximum parameter values for tVDx in this configuration are calculated from a given tDx value as follows:
For example, if a RES31A40 with tD1 = 130ppm is used in this configuration, the associated tVD1 error is –104ppm. The sign change occurs because a positive tDx error means RG > RGnom or RIN < RINnom. Since the resulting GVDx is less than the nominal value, the error term is negative.
For the alternative case where the positions of RG and RIN are swapped, such that RX = RIN and RY = RIN, the transfer function is:
The error of this transfer function is described by:
If the same RES31A40 with tD1 = 130ppm is used in this alternative configuration, the associated tVD1 error is 26ppm. A sign change does not occur because a positive tDx error means RG > RGnom or RIN < RINnom. Because the result GVDx is greater than the nominal value, the error term is again positive.
