Abstract
A stacked switched resistance device has been developed. The stacked switched resistance device includes a plurality of segments connected in series. Each segment includes a resistor including an inherent parasitic capacitance, and a switch connected in series with the resistor, the switch being configured to connect and disconnect the resistor from the plurality of segments in response to a predetermined clock signal. An effective resistance of the stacked switched resistance device exceeds another effective resistance of at least one resistor with an equivalent inherent resistance that is connected in series to a single switch configured to connect and disconnect the at least one resistor in response to the predetermined clock signal.
