Abstract

A compensation method is demonstrated which corrects non-linearities in resistors. This is accomplished by measuring the resistor's non-linearity and compensating for it through a feedback loop. An improvement of greater that an order-of-magnitude is shown. This technique is useful for the integration of analog circuits on system-on-a-chip IC's where a purely digital microfabrication process, containing no linear resistors, is used.
