ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit programmable resistor or programmable capacitor has a floating gate memory cell connected either in series or in parallel to a fixed resistor or a fixed capacitor. The resistance or the capacitance of the floating gate memory cell can be changed by the amount of charge stored on the floating gate which affects the resistance or the capacitance of the channel from which the floating gate is spaced apart. A particular application of the programmable resistor/capacitor is used in a system whereby the resistance or the capacitance can be change or fine tuned as a result of either drift caused by time or by operating conditions such as temperature. Thus, the temperature of the substrate in which the floating gate memory cell is fabricated can be monitored and the resistance or the capacitance of the floating gate memory cell changed dynamically.
