How "Zero" is this supposedly Zero-TCR resistor? And how much better is it than this other one?
I found a resistor at Digikey, and the TCR was quoted as being 0.0ppm/°C, and I had to check the datasheet just to refute my suspicion that it was a data entry error, and it looks real, but just how ...

Are there any tricks for measuring high voltages (~1000 V) efficiently?
The simple way to measure voltages above VDD is to use a resistor divider. However, once you get into the 100s of volts these dissipate significant power.
For example, one of my current designs ...
