High-Value Tunable Pseudo-Resistors Design
Open accessAbstract
Pseudo-resistor circuits are used to mimic large value resistors and base their success on the reduction of occupied areas with respect to physical devices of equal value. This article presents an optimized architecture of pseudo-resistor, made in standard CMOS 0.35 μm technology to bias a low-noise transimpedance amplifier for high-sensitivity applications in the frequency range 100 kHz-10 MHz. The architecture was selected after a critical review of the different topologies to implement high-value resistances with MOSFET transistors, considering their performance in terms of linearity of response, symmetric dynamic range, frequency behavior, and simplicity of realization. The resulting circuit consumes an area of 0.017 mm2and features a tunable resistance from 20 MΩ to 20 GΩ, dynamic offset reduction due to a more than linear I-V curve, and a high-frequency noise well below the one of a physical resistor of equal value. This latter aspect highlights the larger perspective of pseudo-resistors as building blocks in very low-noise applications in addition to the advantage in occupied areas they provide.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
