Abstract

A circuit is provided, including a first resistor, a second resistor which may have an adjustable resistance, and a control unit. The control unit may be configured to adjust the second resistor to have a first resistance at which a voltage due to a first current flowing through the first resistor is equal to a voltage due to a second current flowing through the second resistor. The control unit may be further configured to adjust the second resistor to have a second resistance at which a voltage due to another first current different from the first current and flowing through the first resistor is equal to the voltage due to the second current flowing through the second resistor. The control unit may be further configured to adjust the second resistor to have a third resistance based on at least a difference of the first resistance and the second resistance.
