A revolutionary innovation in the electronics industry - Ticer TCR®
Nowadays, PCBs are a crucial part of any electronic system. Technological requirements for PCBs are constantly increasing and component density is raising rapidly. To meet these requirements, new technologies and materials are being developed. The thinfilm resistive foil Ticer TCR® is one of these materials.
We’re going to highlight some key characteristics and advantages of Ticer TCR® in this blog.
What’s Ticer TCR® and what advantages does it offer?
Ticer TCR® is a state of the art material offering highest uniformity in thickness and resistance over the entire layer. This allows improved resistance tolerances to be achieved in multilayer electronic circuits. Thanks to Ticer TCR®, resistors can be integrated directly into the conductor pattern.
In addition, Ticer TCR® reduces the form factor and increases the available space for active components. The weight of the printed circuit board is reduced and performance is improved. In high frequency technology, Ticer TCR® enables a wide range of applications such as a Wilkinson divider with an improved isolation path, to name just one example of a possible application. All these advantages make Ticer TCR® an indispensable component for the development of the latest generation of printed circuit boards.
