Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to the field of integrated circuits, and more specifically to techniques and devices for programmable impedance. A programmable impedance element () is implemented using integrated circuit techniques and devices. An impedance of the programmable impedance element is adjusted by appropriately configuring the element. The programmable impedance element has a range of impedance values, and is configurable to be a value within this range. In an embodiment, the programmable impedance element is implemented using a floating gate device (), and is nonvolatile.
