dummy poly resistance
Dec 11th, 2009, 6:23am
 
Dear All,
             Need to put dummy resistors around the regular ones . I am using rppolywo. Should it be connected to VDD or gnd ?  I think rppolywo should be connected to VDD (rnploy should have benn connected to ground) still not sure. Can somebody throw some insights ?

Hi Dipankar,

I do not see a problem of connecting them to either potential since there are no junctions involved that you need to reverse bias.
I usually connect them to one of nodes from the active resistor string.

Cheers

as a general practice I would suggest grounding it out. Never leave anything floating in my opinion.
