ABOUT CSM
(Low Ohm Value 1 mΩ to 200 mΩ)
New high-precision Bulk Metal
®
surface-mount Power
Metal Strip
®
resistor of 1 mΩ to 200 mΩ 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.

CSM Series
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.
