Abstract

The invention discloses a bandgap reference circuit employing a current subtraction technology. Temperature compensation is realized by the current subtraction technology. The bandgap reference circuit comprises two current generating circuits with CTAT (Complementary To Absolute Temperature) and a current subtraction circuit, wherein each of the current generating circuits with the CTAT consists of two P-channel metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) pipes, an operation amplifier (OPA), a resistor and a triode; and the current subtraction circuit consists of two PMOS pipes, two N-channel metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) pipes and a resistor. The circuit acquires relatively stable bandgap reference through current subtraction of the two current generating circuits with the CTAT, and has the advantages of low temperature coefficient, low needed supply voltage (less than 1V) and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bandgap reference circuits, and relates to a bandgap reference circuit based on the subtraction of two currents with the same temperature coefficient but different amplitudes. Background technique [0002] In the field of integrated circuit design, voltage reference circuits can provide circuits and systems with reference voltages that do not vary with temperature and power supply voltage, and are widely used in various digital and analog circuits, such as ADCs, radio frequency receivers, frequency synthesizers, filters Waiting for the circuit. [0003] The working principle of the traditional bandgap reference circuit is based on a positive temperature coefficient (PTAT, Proportional To Absolute Temperature) voltage (the difference between the voltages across the two diodes dV f ) with a negative temperature coefficient (CTAT) voltage (the voltage across the diode V f ) weights to get a voltage that ha...
