In one implementation, a termination circuit may include a variable resistance circuit that comprises a resistance network in which the resistance of a parallel combination of two complementary transistors of opposite types is substantially independent of the drain-to-source voltages of the transistors when the gate-to-source voltages of the transistors are substantially equal in magnitude and opposite in sign. In various examples, the network may include a resistor in parallel and/or series with the transistors. Some implementations may adjust a resistance of the network in response to a digital-to-analog converter output signal. In another implementation, an integrated circuit may include a termination stage with an integrated resistor in parallel or series with a circuit having a tunable impedance. In an illustrative embodiment, relative channel width of the first and second transistors may be selected to realize substantially complementary characteristics for drain-to-source voltage vs. drain-to-source resistance.
