Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) includes first and second circuits. The first circuit is manufactured using a process, has an input and an output, and has a first nonlinearity. The second circuit is manufactured using the process, has a first terminal connected to the output of the first circuit and a second terminal connected to the input of the first circuit, and has a second nonlinearity. The second nonlinearity (i) is equal and opposite to the first nonlinearity and (ii) cancels the first nonlinearity.
