a first multiplicity of nominally-identical resistor elements comprising N nominally-identical resistor elements, wherein said first multiplicity of nominally-identical resistor elements are coupled to one another in a series arrangement of N nominally-identical resistor elements comprising a first series end and a second series end;

a second multiplicity of nominally-identical resistor elements comprising M nominally-identical resistor elements, wherein said second multiplicity of nominally-identical resistor elements are coupled to one another in a parallel arrangement of M nominally-identical resistor elements comprising a first parallel end coupling first ends of the second multiplicity of nominally-identical resistors at a first node and a second parallel end coupling second ends of the second multiplicity of nominally-identical resistors at a second node;

wherein said second series end is electrically coupled to said first parallel end at a connecting node, wherein said first series end comprises an input node of the resistor voltage divider network and said second parallel end comprises an output node of the resistor voltage divider network.
