Abstract

A high-ohmic circuit includes a plurality of high-ohmic branches coupled in parallel between a first node and a second node. Each of the plurality of high-ohmic branches includes a first plurality of series connected resistive elements forming a first series path from the first node to the second node, each of the first plurality of series connected resistive elements comprising a first diode-connected transistor. Each of the plurality of high-ohmic branches further includes a second plurality of series connected resistive elements forming a second series path from the first node to the second node, each of the second plurality of series connected resistive elements comprising a second diode-connected transistor. The high-ohmic circuit further includes a plurality of switches, each of the switches being coupled between a corresponding one of the plurality of high-ohmic branches and the second node.
