ABSTRACT
Prior to discussing thick-film resistor design, we shall review a few general layout considerations.
• Conductor and resistor pattern routing should be oriented in "X" and "Y" axes as shown in Figure 4-12. Resistors, conductors, and mounting pads should be designed with right angle corners and turns. An exception to this rule would be a case, when the mounting pad has to outline an irregular or round component to assist its location on the substrate.
