Zusammenfassung:An integrated circuit that can include a driver having a first driver output, and a first resistance coupled between a first node coupled to the first driver output and a second node. The first resistance can include a process resistor including a first material having a first temperature coefficient, and an interconnect resistor configured to provide at least 20% of the first resistance and including a second material having a second temperature coefficient which changes resistance in an opposite direction with temperature as compared to the first temperature coefficient. A first terminal of the interconnect resistor is directly connected to a first terminal of the process resistor.
