Abstract
In aspects of the invention, a zap circuit and a decoder for decoding the output of the zap circuit turn ON only one analog switch in a selector. The selector delivers an electric potential at a node of a dividing resistor selected by the zap circuit. The output of the selector is delivered to the non-inverting input of an operational amplifier, and the output of the operational amplifier is delivered to the gate terminal of a MOSFET. The operational amplifier controls the gate of the MOSFET so that the potential at a current detecting resistor equals the output of the selector. As a result, a current proportional to the input voltage flows through the MOSFET. Because the current through a dividing resistor is also proportional to the input voltage, the total current is eventually proportional to the input voltage.
