Abstract
A device in one embodiment includes a plurality of tunnel junction resistors coupled in series; a first lead coupled to one end of the plurality of tunnel junction resistors coupled in series; and a second lead coupled to another end of the plurality of tunnel junction resistors coupled in series. A device in another embodiment includes a magnetoresistive sensor; a plurality of tunnel junction resistors coupled in series; a first lead coupling one end of the magnetoresistive sensor to one end of the plurality of tunnel junction resistors coupled in series; and a second lead coupling another end of the magnetoresistive sensor to another end of the plurality of tunnel junction resistors coupled in series.
