On a class of SC resistors and its application to the synthesis of non‐linear driving‐point and transfer‐characteristic plots

Abstract The use of switched‐capacitor components for designing non‐linear networks is discussed in this paper. We first introduce a new type of network component, the BESC resistor, and consider its application to the design of non‐linear transfer characteristic and driving point plots. Systematic methods for designing piecewise‐linear BESC resistors using switched capacitors are then given. Finally, experimental results showing the performance of the proposed circuits are included.
