Excellent high frequency characteristics
TLR
The manufacturing process of resistors includes "trimming" process where the partial resistive body is cut to adjust the resistance. This trimming process would not cause any problem in the normal circuit, while it does cause various problem in the high speed circuit under large current.
TLR series adjusts the resistance without trimming.
[TLR - Heat dissipation distribution]
1.The distribution of heat dissipation is uniformed without cutting in the resistor, leading to effective heat dissipation.
[Detected Waveform]
2.Measuring errorsis corrected, caused by the inductance of the resistor itself.
