Abstract:
According to various embodiments, an inverter-based resistor may be provided. The inverter-based resistor may include at least one digital inverter, wherein each of the at least one digital inverter is configured to receive an input and provide an output, each of the at least one digital inverter further includes a positive voltage rail and a negative voltage rail, wherein the digital inverter input is connected to the inverter output and the positive voltage rail is connected to the negative voltage rail, and wherein a current flowing through the inverter-based resistor varies in direction and magnitude in response to a digital input provided to the positive voltage rail and the negative voltage rail.
