An integrated circuit radio transceiver and method therefor includes a parallel resistive circuit that provides high resolution to resistive circuitry in a hardware efficient manner for use in a plurality of applications including active filters requiring a precise bandwidth, voltage sources that require a precise voltage output, and current sources that require a precise current output source. The parallel resistive circuit includes at least one base resistive device, whose resistive value may be selectable, in parallel with a plurality of selectable circuit paths, each having a plurality of series coupled resistive values formed in an approximate location of the integrated circuit to reduce process variations. The paths are selectable by logic to provide a desired operational characteristic.
