Abstract
Embodiments include a resistor, coupled on a signal path, that includes one or more resistive memory elements, such as one or more magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). The resistance of the resistive memory elements may be digitally trimmable to adjust a resistance of the resistor on the signal path. The resistor may be incorporated into an analog or mixed signal circuit to pass an analog signal on the signal path. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
