Abstract

An active voltage divider circuit is provided comprising: a first node; a second node; a third node; multiple FET load devices coupled in series between the first node and the second node; multiple first switches, each associated with a different FET load device and configured to selectably couple a respective associated bypass circuit between source and drain of its associated FET load device; and second switch circuitry configured to selectably couple a drain of a FET load device, from among the multiple FET load devices, to the third node.
