CHC-Precision Series
Precision Ceramic
Ball Grid Arrays
IRC’s TaNFilm® ceramic Precision Ball Grid Array offers precision tolerances in a ceramic BGA package. In
addition, the TaNFilm® CHC Series provides all the unique qualities of our other TaNFilm® package
confi gurations.
Precise state-of-the-art laser trimming provides close tolerances and tight ratios. The TaNFilm® process
enables IRC to manufacture custom circuit confi gurations and multiple resistance values without sacrifi cing the
tightest tolerance and tracking characteristics of precision networks. The Tantalum Nitride resistor material is
self-passivating for environmental protection surpassing military requirements and guaranteeing exceptional
ratio stability.
For applications requiring a high degree of reliability, stability, accuracy and low noise, plus the advantages of
new resistor confi gurations, specify the IRC Precision Ceramic Ball Grid Arrays.
