Semiconductor device and method of forming same for temperature compensating active resistance

摘要

In an embodiment a circuit provides an active resistance that is adjusted with temperature, the active resistance has a magnitude and temperature coefficient that is selected by the values of external resistors. The active resistance is controlled by an active resistance controller that uses a temperature dependent source and a temperature stable source to control adjustment of a first adjustable resistance to maintain correspondence between a temperature dependent parameter and a temperature stable parameter, and adjusts a second adjustable resistance that is part of the active resistance in correspondence with adjustment of the first adjustable resistance.
