Abstract
Disclosed are techniques for generating a precisely controlled analog signal. In one described implementation, a semiconductor circuit is mounted on a circuit board having a power and a ground etching. The circuit has a power terminal coupled with the power etching and a ground terminal coupled with the ground etching. The circuit includes a trapezoid shaped resistive strip coupled with the power terminal and the ground terminal. Contacts are connected along one edge of the strip to provide outputs at various voltage levels. Switches having a common output are coupled with the contacts on the strip. A control circuit activates the switches so that the common output generates an analog signal.
