Abstract

A technique for measuring the resistance of a resistive elementin the presence of a series diode is provided. By supplying three different currents I, I, Iand measuring corresponding voltages V, V, Vacross the resistive element and diode, the voltages can be combined to at least partially eliminate an error in the measured resistance of the resistive element caused by a voltage drop across the diode. A technique for current control in an array of resistive elements is also described in which a column of resistive elements is provided with two or more current sources switched so that while one current source is providing current to the column line corresponding to a selected resistive element, another current source has its amount of current adjusted.
