Abstract
Programming circuitry 200 includes a terminal 202 for coupling to a resistor having a resistance representing a corresponding programming state. Current control circuitry 204/205 selectively passes at least one exponentially weighted current through terminal 202. Detection Circuitry 201 then determines the resistance of the resistor from the at least one exponentially weighted current to determine the programming state.
