Abstract:
1. A resistive voltage divider comprising: an insulating substrate; a first terminal for application of an input voltage; a second terminal; a third terminal; a first resistor formed on the insulating substrate and connected between the first and second terminals; a second resistor formed on the insulating substrate and connected between the second and third terminals; a first metallic conductor formed on the insulating substrate, connected at one end to the first terminal, disposed to be adjacent to at least part of the first resistor and having a distributed capacitive coupling to the first resistor that is selected to compensate for distributed stray capacitance from the first resistor to a circuit ground; and a second metallic conductor formed on the insulating substrate, connected at one end to the third terminal, disposed to be adjacent to at least part of the second resistor and having a distributed capacitive coupling to the second resistor that is selected to compensate for distributed stray capacitance from the second resistor to the circuit ground.
