Abstract
An apparatus for compensating for resistance tolerances of a fuse for a circuit, wherein the apparatus is particularly intended for use in a line driver for a communication device and includes a tolerance-affected fuse, a first resistor connected in series with the fuse, and a second resistor connected in parallel with the fuse and the first resistor, where the apparatus has, at a predefined ambient temperature, a resistance that corresponds to a desired total resistance, where the resistance of the second resistor is, depending on a power input into the apparatus in a fault state and/or depending on a predefined tolerance of the resistance of the apparatus, a multiple of that of the first resistor.
