The ratiometric matching of the RES11A provides a benefit not just for initial conditions, but also when considering parametric drift. The resistors must be considered individually, in absolute terms, and ratiometrically to each other, in matched terms. The absolute temperature coefficients of each resistor show strong correlation, with the coefficient of RIN1 comparable to that of RIN2 and the coefficient of RG1 comparable to that of RG2. The absolute temperature coefficient (in Ω/°C) of each RG is approximately Gnom times greater than that of the comparable RIN; hence, the normalized absolute temperature coefficient (in ppm/°C) of every resistor is about the same.
Because the resistors of the RES11A are interdigitated, and occupy a small footprint, the die temperature of the device is effectively common to each of the four resistors. As the temperature changes, each resistor experiences a similar temperature rise. Because the resistors have very similar temperature coefficients, the ratio of RG to RIN is well preserved. For example, the RES11A40 has a typical absolute temperature coefficient of approximately 18 ppm/°C for RIN or RG. When considered in ratiometric terms, the typical temperature coefficient of tD1 or tD2 is –0.2 ppm/°C, and the temperature coefficient of tM is 0.05 ppm/°C.
