摘要
The paper regards a new active resistor for ultra-low power applications. Thanks to the chosen topology, based on feedback and operational amplifier, it allows to accurately emulate the voltage versus current characteristic (V-I) of a component with respect to the process, temperature and power supply variations. Furthermore, using a transistor in a series configuration as reference, it is possible to obtain very high resistance values with up to 10 times less area with respect to the resistors available in standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The circuit has been simulated using 1.2-V transistors of a 130nm CMOS technology. Compared with a standard p+ poly-silicon resistors, it exhibits equivalent performance parameters using less area.
