Abstract:
The invention relates to a resistor network (2) such as a resistor ladder network, comprising at least a resistor body (4) which is provided with at least a column (6) of taps (8) situated between a first tap and a second tap, wherein, in use, at least two taps can be connected with respective first and second sources of reference input potentials, and wherein each tap of the at least one column of taps can be used for outputting an output potential via a contact area which is connected with the concerning tap, wherein the resistor body (4) comprises a multiple of resistor sub-bodies (5), wherein each resistor sub-body (5) is connected with a column (6) of taps (8), and wherein the only electrical connections between the resistor sub-bodies (5) are established by electrical connections via taps (8) connected with the resistor sub-bodies (5). Furthermore the invention relates to a method for manufacturing a resistor network (2) such as a resistor ladder network.
