A technique for implementing monolithic resistors with a desired temperature coefficient (TC) over a wide temperature range is introduced. A typical monolithic resistor consists of a core resistive layer terminated with contact layers on each end. In a typical process, there are core resistive layers that have TCs with opposite sign of that of the contacts. The authors propose to take advantage...

In this paper, a CMOS emulator circuit that can reproduce nanoscale memristive behavior is proposed. The proposed emulator circuit can mimic the pinched hysteresis loops of nanoscale memristor memory's current-voltage relationship without using any resistor array, complicated circuit blocks, etc. that may occupy very large layout area. Instead of using a resistor array, other complicated circui...

Figure 1 shows a basic resistor bridge. The circuit is usually credited to Charles Wheatstone, although S. H. Christie, who demonstrated it in 1833, almost certainly preceded him.1 If all resistor values are equal (or the two sides ratios are equal) the differential voltage is zero. The excitation voltage does not alter this, as it affects both sides equally. When the bridge is operating off nu...

CO(2) exchange between air and leaf is conceived as a current along a resistor with a respiratory current, unaffected by CO(2) concentration, entering the resistor. The conclusion follows that a plant placed in an atmosphere free of CO(2) will increase the CO(2) concentration to the compensation concentration along a curve determined by the resistor and the volume of the atmosphere. This was ve...
