Follow Us For resistors networks, especially high-precision designs for use with op amps in analog data processing, thin-film monolithic construction is increasingly being preferred to matched assortments of wirewound and bulk metal-foil discrete resistors. The many reasons include the potentially high tracking accuracy of thin films, efficient use of space and weight, long-term stability, low cost per element, low noise, and high reliability, as well as the capability of employing standard IC packages and assembly techniques (including chips for hybrids).
