Complete nonlinear model for the MRC (MOS resistive circuit)

The most significant sources of nonlinearity in the MOS resistive circuit behaviour are identified and deeply analysed in this contribution. Their influence on the MRC performance and, therefore, in the circuits containing such structure is evidenced through some examples and evaluated. Some reasonable hints about the way to minimise their undesired effects are provided.
