TCAN1042-Q1: The power rating for the termination resistor?

Part Number: TCAN1042-Q1

Hi 

We are not sure how big the power rating is needed for the termination resistor? A 0805 size 0.125W resistor good enough or what is the required power rating? thanks!

  • PYTsai,

    In many applications and systems I've seen 1206 footprint used with 0.25W capability. In general, unless there is a fault condition, your termination resistors should be okay if they are 0805 or 1206 or bigger. Larger sized ceramic resistors can withstand more power dissipation.
