Resistor Model

Integrated resistors are not ideal, but exhibit a voltage and temperature dependence.

An integrated Pinched Resistor employs a high-resistance well bounded by two inversely doped regions. These reversed diodes will “pinch” the conductive region depending on the voltage between them.

A typical example is the Nwell-resistor:

Nwell(V) 10kΩ


A quadratic temperature dependence is an appropriate model for most resistors. It is modeled around a central (or nominal) temperature T0, which is part of the specification.
