Abstract
Apparatus, systems, articles of manufacture, and methods to provide an adaptive connection of a resistive element and a temperature-dependent resistive element are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a temperature-dependent resistive element. The example apparatus further includes a resistive element. The example apparatus further includes a switch coupled to the temperature-dependent resistive element and the resistive element. The example apparatus further includes a current sensor to measure a current through the temperature-dependent resistive element. The example apparatus further includes a processor to control the switch to, based on the measured current, (A) couple the temperature-dependent resistive element in parallel to the resistive element or (B) couple the temperature-dependent resistive element in series with the resistive element.
