Reply with quote  Mark this post and the followings unread

I'm about to build 2 Buchla 258ish VCO's and need 2k Tempco's.
I've got 1k ones so the options are....

a, Put 2 1k tempco's in series
b. Put a 1k tempco and a 1k 1% metal film resistor in series.

or at a push
c, Order 2k tempco's from USA (not keen to do)

Which is the best option???

Any advice greatfully recieved

I think that two 1K tempcos in series will work OK. The x0xbox uses two 1K tempcos in series.
1K tempco + 1K metal film will not work for sure, as the temperature coeficient will be a lot lower than needed.

Funny, I have the same question-
Since those tempcos are not really cheap, wouldn´t it be possible to just lower the input resistors from 100 to 47k (same relation gain 1/50)?
I´ll try it...
