ABSTRACT:
A passively-multiplexed resistor array has rows and columns of conductors. Resistors span the intersections of the conductors, and one or more selected resistors may be energized by energizing the corresponding row(s) and column(s). However, other, unselected, resistors may also be partially energized. By adding additional rows or columns of "minimizer" resistors, the maximum power in unselected resistors may be reduced. The minimizer resistors are electrically connected in the passively-multiplexed resistor array but do not perform the function of the other resistors in the array.
