发明名称 Binary control arrangement and method of making and using the same
摘要 The present description relates to a semiconductor device including an array of two or more switching elements and a controller electrically connected to the array of switching elements. At least one switching element of the array of switching elements has a different electrical resistance than at least another switching element of the array of switching elements. The controller is configured to generate and transmit at least one coarse tuning signal and at least one fine tuning signal. The array of switching elements is configured to alter an electrical resistance of the array of switching elements in response to the at least one coarse tuning signal and the at least one fine tuning signal. The present description also includes a method of making a semiconductor device and a method of using a semiconductor device.
