Abstract: An integrated circuit element includes a gate, a source, and a drain. In response to a selected drain voltage, a drain-current-to-gate-voltage transfer characteristic of the integrated circuit element to transition from an asymmetric, non-linear first transfer characteristic to a non-linear parabolic-shaped second transfer characteristic with an inflection point having a corresponding inflection point gate voltage value, where drain current values of the second transfer characteristic increase in magnitude as gate voltage values both increase and decrease from the inflection point gate voltage value such that the second transfer characteristic is a rectifying transfer characteristic.
