Abstract
A circuit has a first circuit module including a first resistor and first and second transistors coupled in parallel with the first resistor. The first resistor and the first and second transistors are coupled together at a first node. An equivalent resistance across the first circuit module increases as a voltage of the first node is increased from a first voltage to a second voltage, and the equivalent resistance across the first circuit module decreases as the voltage of the first node is increased from the second voltage to a third voltage.
