Abstract:
1. A termination resistor comprising: a first transistor, a second transistor, and a third transistor, all three transistors being either positive-channel metal-oxide semiconductor transistors or negative-channel metal-oxide semiconductor transistors, each transistor having a gate terminal, a first terminal, and a second terminal; and a first resistor having first and second terminals, the first terminal of the first resistor being directly connected to the gate terminal and the first terminal of the third transistor, the gate terminal and the first terminal of the third transistor being directly connected together, and the second terminal of the first resistor being directly connected to the first terminal of the first transistor, wherein the first terminal of the second transistor is directly connected to the second terminal of the third transistor, the second terminal of the first transistor is directly connected to the second terminal of the second transistor, and the gate terminal of the first transistor is directly connected to the gate terminal of the second transistor.
