A 0.439 \(ppm/^\circ{\rm C} \) CMOS bandgap reference with 4\(\sim \)40V supply-range and high-order curvature compensations
摘要
This paper demonstrates a high-precision bandgap reference (BGR) that features a wide input voltage range and high-order temperature compensation. The design achieves an extremely low temperature coefficient (TC) across a wide –40℃ to 160℃ operating range. This low TC is enabled by a novel multi-segment curvature compensation (MSCC) circuit, which incorporates subtraction-addition circuits with current mirror techniques based on a conventional current-mode BGR. Furthermore, a pre-regulator is incorporated to extend the input range from 4 to 40 V, thereby improving immunity to supply voltage variations. The designed BGR is fabricated using a 0.18 µm Bipolar–CMOS–DMOS (BCD) process. Simulation results demonstrate a stable voltage of
