Methods of generating resistance

Abstract

The subject of this paper is the design of a programmable resistive decade. The design of the resistive decade is aimed at future use in energy harvester testing. The theoretical part deals with several common ways of coding the desired resistance of the resistive decade. The design of optimized resistive decade and resistive matrix circuits is addressed. The design of the series resistive decade has been optimized by switching the resistances of the individual decade blocks in parallel. A generative machine learning algorithm was used for the design of the resistive matrix. In the final part of the work, the designs were compared with the existing solution.
