CSM Series
ABOUT CSM
(Low Ohm Value 1 m to 200 m)
New high-precision Bulk Metal
®
surface-mount Power Metal
Strip
®
resistor of 1 m to 200 m that features an improved
load-life stability of ± 0.2 % at + 70 °C for 2000 h at rated
power, an absolute TCR of ± 15 ppm/°C maximum from
- 55 °C to + 125 °C, + 25 °C ref., and a tolerance of ± 0.1 %.
Typical current sensing resistors offer a load-life stability of
1 % through a 2000 h workload. The improved resistance
stability of the CSM Series makes it ideal for
tightened-stability voltage division and precision current
sensing applications in switching linear power supplies,
power amplifiers, measurement instrumentation, bridge
networks, and medical and test equipment. In addition, the
CSM Series complies with EEE-INST-002 (MIL-PRF 55342
and MIL-PRF 49465) for military and space applications.
Traditional Passive current sensors and shunts generate
heat under power, which changes their resistance, and thus
their voltage output. The CSM’s low absolute TCR reduces
errors due to temperature gradients, thus reducing a major
source of uncertainty in current measurement. The CSM
can withstand unconventional environmental conditions,
including the extremely high temperatures and radiation-rich
environments of down-hole oil exploration and well logging,
or the deep-sea underwater repeaters in cross-ocean
communications.
The stability of the CSM can be further enhanced by
post-manufacturing operations (PMO), such as temperature
cycling, short-time overload, and accelerated load life which
are uniquely applicable to Bulk Metal
®
Foil resistors.
The device features a low thermal electromotive force (EMF)
that is critical in many precision applications. The CSM’s
all-welded construction is composed of a Bulk Metal
®
resistive element with welded copper terminations, plated for
soldering. The terminations make true ohmic contact with the
resistive layer along the entire side of the resistive element,
thereby minimizing temperature variations. Also, the resistor
element is designed to uniformly dissipate power without
creating hot spots, and the welded terminations material is
compatible with the element material.
These design factors result in a very low thermal-EMF
(3 µV/°C) resistor, because in addition to the low thermal
EMF compatibility of the metals, the uniformity and thermal
efficiency of the design minimizes the temperature
differential across the resistor, thereby assuring low thermal
EMF generation at the leads. This further reduces the
“battery effect” exhibited by most current-sensing or
voltage-reference resistors. Thus, the parasitic voltage
generated at the junction of two dissimilar metals, which is
especially important in low-value current-sensing resistors, is
minimized, while the pure current-to-voltage conversion is
protected from such interference in DC applications.
The stability problems associated with analog circuits are
very pervasive, but knowledgeable selection of a few
high-quality resistors, networks, or trimming potentiometers

in critical locations can greatly improve circuit performance,
long-term application-related performance, as well as the
designer’s peace-of-mind.
Additionally, the overall system cost is often reduced when a
knowledgeable designer concentrates costs in a few
exceptionally stable components whose proven minimal-
deviation load and environmental stability can often eliminate
the necessity of additional compensating circuitry or
temperature-controlling systems. The higher reliability and
better overall system performances also achieve excellent
product results in the field, enhancing market acceptance
and product reputation.
Designers often unnecessarily pay for tighter tolerances than
required simply to accommodate the resistance stability
shifts they know to be imminent in an application due to the
large application-related changes in the components they
selected. Selection of a high-stability component like the
CSM in these applications eliminates the need for shift
allowance due to “planned instability” and allows the use of
looser initial tolerances than would be necessary with
current-sensing resistors based on other technologies.
