Abstract

An embodiment of an apparatus for providing a variable resistance may be configured to provide a resistance value according to a binary-coded decimal scheme. The apparatus may be referred to herein as a BCD variable resistance apparatus. The BCD variable resistance apparatus may include a plurality of resistive elements and a plurality of switches. In an embodiment, the resistive elements may be coupled with respective switches in a binary-coded decimal scheme.
