A current-controlled resistor comprises a first input terminal configured to receive an input signal and a second input terminal configured to receive a current control signal. The resistor comprises a first stage configured to receive the current control signal; the first stage includes first and second PN diodes having first terminals of a first type and second terminals of a second type. The first terminals of the first and second PN diodes are coupled each other and a second terminal of the first PN diode is coupled to the first input terminal. The resistor comprises a second stage configured to receive the current control signal; the second stage includes a third PN diode having first and second terminals of the first and second types, the second terminal of the third PN diode being coupled to the second terminal of the second PN diode.
