Abstract
A method and system of providing an active differential resistor. The active differential resistor includes a diode having a first node and a second node. There is a capacitor coupled in series between the first node of the diode and an input of the active differential resistor. There is a current source coupled across the first node and the second node of the diode and configured to forward bias the diode such that a Johnson-Nyquist noise of the active differential resistor is replaced by a shot noise.
