So, I have a design that has 7 220ohm and 6 1kohm resistors all clumped together, so I thought I would be smart and use a resistor network. Now, the design requires the resistors all be independent (no common pin), but no biggie, independent resistor networks are easy to come by on DigiKey. But, I'm looking at the price of a 8 x 200ohm chip compared to 8 x individual discrete 220ohm resistors (smt or through-hole, doesn't matter), and the resistor network chip (I am looking at SOIC-16) is significantly more expensive (>25%) than the required number of resistors.
Am I missing something? Looking an unpopular chip package maybe? Why would people choose a resistor network if it's more expensive?
