re. vpg: they offer an hermetic divider (vhd) with typ. 0.1ppm tracking
of tempco. if you are ok with lowest available abs. accuracy it will be
well priced, I remember having asked them for a price and it was below 50€
for standard lead time (which can be very long). it is also fair to assume
it would age more homogeneously than two separate resistors, also you dont
need to think about how to keep two resistors at the same temp. make sure
each resistor is loaded with less than 10mw, otherwise aging may be above
what the claim in their collateral.

Randy,

resistor matched in T.C. are extremely expensive, as the manufacturer
(or yourself) would have to select these from a batch of many samples.

reistors with very small T.C. (<1ppm/K) would do the job also, but they
also need to be stable over time, in shelf life opereation mode, i.e.
P<10mW.

That means, you need those hermetically sealed VHP202Z from Vishay, T.C.
is typically < 1ppm/K and they are stable to < 2ppm over 5years. But
they cost already 80€ each, depending on tolerance.

I made a longterm observation of these and found these parameters

confirmed.

Re: [volt-nuts] Matched resistors

Andreas,

That is good information, I appreciate it.  I have contacted LT application
support but they have yet to get back to me on my questions except they did
recommend to use the LTC6943 instead of the LTC1043.  Later generation I
guess.

I think i am going to try both the LTC6943 and the LT5400 resistor array
and characterize them.  The LT5400 matching ratio looks pretty good over
temp (0.2ppm/C) but the absolute resistor change over temp is -10 to +25
ppm/C, a little larger than I would like for the circuit I am using.

randy, 
re. vpg: they offer an hermetic divider (vhd) with typ. 0.1ppm tracking of 
tempco. if you are ok with lowest available abs. accuracy it will be well 
priced, I remember having asked them for a price and it was below 50€ for 
standard lead time (which can be very long). it is also fair to assume it would 
age more homogeneously than two separate resistors, also you dont need to think 
about how to keep two resistors at the same temp. make sure each resistor is 
loaded with less than 10mw, otherwise aging may be above what the claim in 
their collateral.
