To provide a temperature-compensated-resistance (TCR) circuit, which may be a part of an integrated circuit.
The TCR circuit 100 includes two resistors 110, 120 and a diode 130. The two resistors are connected in parallel and the diode is connected in series with one of the resistors. Two parallel legs of the TCR circuit may be connected to a reference voltage source, such as a ground. No specialized devices, such as bipolar transistors, Zener or Schottky diodes, or specially-processed resistors, are required by the TCR circuit. The resistors and the diode of the TCR circuit may be chosen to adjust for temperature variations in resistance values of the resistor, leading to a negative, zero, or positive temperature coefficient of resistance for the circuit. A phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit is described as an application of the TCR circuit.
