Common Node Resistors [Resistor Network]

Common Connection Resistor Networks or bused resistors are used when many of the same value resistor connect to the same point, normally a voltage node [Vcc or Ground]. The resistors within the package will normally always be the same value. Regardless of the package style [shown below] pin 1 is used as the common tie point

Common Connection Resistor Network

Graphic shows a 6-pin SIP, 8-pin SIP, and a 10-pin SIP with bused resistors.
The 10-pin package could be used with 8-bit wide buses while the 8-pin and 6-pin devices could be used in smaller systems or random circuits that require a termination resistor.

There are many possible common values for this style of resistor package. Use the table of values below to select a resistor.
This package orientation could be used to pull-up Unused Inputs on ICs. Or to bring Tri-state outputs to a valid logic level.

SIP Package

Resistance Tolerance;
+/- 0.1, +/- 0.5, +/- 1.0, +/- 2.0, +/- 5.0 percent
Voltage Rating;
