    Abstract: A circuit including an amplifier array including an amplifier stage with M amplifiers (M≥2), connected to a resistor interpolator (interpolation order N≥2) including an input row and at least a second row, each row comprising interpolation resistors connected in series at nodes. The input row including M driven nodes connected to a respective amplifier, and connected in parallel to the second row, with at least some first-row interpolation nodes connected to corresponding second-row interpolation nodes. The resistor interpolator comprising at least one multi-row interpolation cell, with: in the input row, a driven node coupled through first and second interpolation resistors to respective adjacent first and second interpolation nodes; and in the second row, third and fourth interpolation nodes coupled through third and fourth interpolation resistors to an intermediate fifth interpolation node; and with the first and second interpolation nodes connected respectively to the third and fourth interpolation nodes.
