Abstract
A voltage-divider circuit, including: a network of discrete resistors defining T tiers of resistors, where T≥2, the T tiers comprising first and subsequent tiers, the Xth tier including at least one Xth-tier resistor where X=1, and the Xth tier including at least two Xth-tier resistors for each value of X in the range 2≤X≤T, wherein, for each value of X in the range 1≤X<T: each Xth-tier resistor is connected between a pair of nodes of the voltage-divider circuit at which a relatively high and low voltage signal are provided, respectively; at least one Xth-tier resistor is implemented as a subdivision network of discrete resistors; and for each Xth-tier resistor implemented as a subdivision network, that subdivision network includes a main resistor connected in series with a corresponding auxiliary resistor, that main resistor implemented as a base resistor connected in parallel with a series connection of a plurality of X+1th-tier resistors.
