Abstract
A thermal system includes a plurality of resistor circuits that define a number of resistor circuits R. The thermal system also has a plurality of nodes that connect the plurality of resistor circuits and define a number of nodes N. A plurality of power wires are connected to each of the plurality of nodes, and the plurality of power wires define a number of power wires P. A plurality of signal wires connect to each of the plurality of nodes to sense the temperature of each of the resistor circuits, and the plurality of signal wires define a number of signal wires S. The number of power wires Pand the number of signal wires Sis equal to the number of nodes N, and the number of resistor circuits Ris greater than or equal to the number of nodes N.
