Abstract

Disclosed is a current mode bandgap reference voltage source with a subthreshold current compensation function. On the basis of an existing bandgap reference core circuit, a first MOS (metal oxide semiconductor) transistor subthreshold current compensation circuit and a second MOS transistor subthreshold current compensation circuit are added, subthreshold current of an NMOS transistor and a PMOS transistor are compensated to reference current through the two subthreshold current compensation circuits, the index change relation of the subthreshold current is utilized to compensate nonlinearity of traditional reference current, output bandgap reference current is enabled to be compensated within a wide temperature range, output bandgap reference voltage and temperature variations slow down, and accordingly temperature coefficient of the reference voltage is lowered greatly.
