Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electronic circuits, and in particular relates to a bandgap reference circuit for generating low input offset voltage. Background Art
[0002] The importance of a bandgap reference in analog circuits, as it provides the reference voltage required by subsequent modules, is self-evident. The offset voltage caused by the mismatch between resistors and MOS transistor processes is similar to low-frequency noise and accumulates throughout the system through op amps, affecting system stability. Therefore, an offset cancellation circuit can reduce the offset voltage equivalent to the system input by an order of magnitude, thereby providing the system with a wider stable fluctuation range and effectively reducing the system's noise at low frequencies. Existing technologies typically use op amps with low input offset or layout matching techniques to achieve lower input offset voltage. This technology addresses the problem within the module itself, but after system amplification, even minor noise is amplified, which can affect system stability. Therefore, offset voltage reduction at the system level is necessary. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bandgap reference circuit with low input offset voltage, thereby ensuring low input offset of an auxiliary operational amplifier and eliminating the input offset voltage of the bandgap reference circuit in terms of magnitude.
[0004] The technical solution for achieving the purpose of the present invention is: a bandgap reference circuit for generating low input offset, comprising a bandgap reference circuit, an auxiliary operational amplifier circuit, and a chopper circuit:
[0005] The bandgap reference circuit includes a startup circuit, a bandgap reference core circuit, and a voltage bias circuit. The startup circuit is used to prevent a degeneracy point. The bandgap reference core circuit is used to generate a voltage with a zero temperature coefficient. The voltage bias circuit is used to provide a bias voltage for the main operational amplifier.
[0006] The auxiliary operational amplifier circuit includes a polarity variable transconductance amplifier, which is used to reduce the voltage input offset;
[0007] The chopping circuit includes a discrete time low-pass filter and a polarity conversion switch; the discrete time low-pass filter is used to filter out the high-frequency signal of the reference output, and the polarity conversion switch is used to complete the positive and negative polarity conversion of the operational amplifier.
[0008] Compared with existing technologies, this invention offers significant advantages: It uses chopper technology to periodically switch the op amp input and output polarity, thereby reducing the input offset voltage of the main op amp. This is further reduced by using a high-gain auxiliary op amp. The auxiliary op amp's own offset is reduced using auto-zero technology to ensure low input offset. This technology can significantly reduce the input offset voltage of the bandgap reference circuit, thereby achieving the required low input offset performance and improving system stability.

[0074] This circuit can ensure that its equivalent input offset voltage is reduced by an order of magnitude through chopper technology and auxiliary op amp offset cancellation circuit. The auxiliary op amp offset cancellation circuit also uses output and input storage technology to ensure the low input offset of the auxiliary op amp, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the output voltage of the bandgap reference circuit and providing a good bandgap reference for subsequent analog circuits.
[0075] Example
[0076] Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the startup circuit and voltage bias circuit ensure that the system is out of the degeneracy point after power-on and provide bias voltage for the auxiliary operational amplifier. The output voltage of the core operational amplifier circuit can be expressed as:
[0077]
[0078] like Figure 5 As shown, the first auxiliary transconductance amplifier G n1 With the second auxiliary transconductance amplifier G n2 The first auxiliary transconductance amplifier G is connected to the first main transconductance amplifier G1, and the third auxiliary operational amplifier A3 forms an auxiliary operational amplifier, and the first main operational amplifier A1 serves as the main operational amplifier. When F1 is low and F1- is high, the first switch S1 is turned on, the second switch S2 is turned off, the third switch S3 is turned on, the fourth switch S4 is turned off, the fifth switch S5 is turned on, the sixteenth switch S16 is turned on, and the seventeenth switch S17 is turned off. n1 With the second auxiliary transconductance amplifier G n2 Entering the storage phase, there is no signal path between the main op amp and the auxiliary op amp, and there are:
[0079] [V n1 G n1 +(V n2 -V c2 )G n2 ]R out1 =V out1
[0080] Since Vout1=Vc2 in the above formula, we have
[0081] V c2 =(V n1 G n1 R out1 +V n2 G n2 R out1 ) / (1+G n2 R out1 )
[0082] At this time, the third auxiliary operational amplifier A3 enters the storage stage, and at this time:
[0083] (V n3 -V c3 )A3=V out3
[0084] Since Vout3=Vc3 in the above formula, we have:
[0085]
[0086] When F1 is high and F1- is low, the first switch S1 is turned off, the second switch S2 is turned on, the third switch S3 is turned off, the fourth switch S4 is turned on, the fifth switch S5 is turned off, the sixteenth switch S16 is turned off, and the seventeenth switch S17 is turned on. n1 With the second auxiliary transconductance amplifier G n2Entering the signal operation stage, there is a signal path between the auxiliary op amp and the main op amp and there are:
[0087] [(V in +V n1 )G n1 +(V n2 -V c2 )G n2 ]R out1 =V out2
[0088] In the above formula, V c2 Bring in:
[0089]
[0090] Thus the first auxiliary transconductance amplifier G n1 With the second auxiliary transconductance amplifier G n2 The equivalent input offset voltage is effectively reduced. At this time, A3 enters the signal operation stage, and its input signal is the first auxiliary transconductance amplifier G n1 With the second auxiliary transconductance amplifier G n2 The output voltage Vout2 is:
[0091] V out3 =A3(V out2 +V n3 -V c3 )
[0092] Substituting Vc3 and Vout2 into the above formula, we can get:
[0093]
[0094] The overall gain of the auxiliary op amp is:
[0095] A v =G n1 R out1 A3
[0096] like Figure 2 As shown in FIG, the first auxiliary transconductance amplifier G n1 The gain of the first auxiliary transconductance amplifier A3 can be expressed as:
[0097]
[0098] like Figure 4In the example, when FC is high and FC- is low, the sixth switch S6 is turned on, the seventh switch S7 is turned off, the eighth switch S8 is turned off, the ninth switch S9 is turned on, the tenth switch S10 is turned on, the eleventh switch S11 is turned off, the twelfth switch S12 is turned off, and the thirteenth switch S13 is turned on. This means that control signal A is connected to control signal C, control signal B is connected to control signal D, control signal VN is connected to control signal V-, and control signal VP is connected to control signal V+. This enters the positive half-cycle of the chopper op amp. Conversely, when FC is low and FC- is high, the sixth switch S6 is turned off, the seventh switch S7 is turned on, the eighth switch S8 is turned on, the ninth switch S9 is turned off, the tenth switch S10 is turned off, the eleventh switch S11 is turned on, the twelfth switch S12 is turned on, and the thirteenth switch S13 is turned off. That is, control signal A is connected to control signal D, control signal B is connected to control signal C, control signal VN is connected to control signal V+, and control signal VP is connected to control signal V-, entering the negative half cycle of the chopper op amp. Thus, the offset of the main op amp A1 itself is eliminated by alternating cycles.
[0099] Through Figure 3 The first main operational amplifier A1 and the discrete-time low-pass filter shown can filter out the jitter after the chopper. The low-pass filter can provide a cutoff frequency of ω0 = (FSCS) / CH, and its cutoff frequency can be controlled by changing the off period of the fourteenth switch S14 and the fifteenth switch S15, effectively solving the problem of excessive resistance in the layout.
[0100] like Figure 5 The first auxiliary transconductance amplifier G n1 With the second auxiliary transconductance amplifier G n2 The third auxiliary operational amplifier A3 is used in parallel with the first main operational amplifier A1 to further reduce its equivalent input offset voltage in terms of magnitude. Due to the influence of the input offset voltage, the input offset voltage will be transmitted to the output end and multiplied by a coefficient of 1+C1 / C0, which will introduce a certain degree of accuracy. When the auxiliary operational amplifier is used, G n1 R out1 When A3>>A1, the input equivalent offset voltage is approximately:
[0101] (1+C1 / C0)(A1 / (G n1 R out1 A3))
[0102] It can be seen from the above formula that the offset voltage of the first main operational amplifier A1 can be reduced by an order of magnitude through the auxiliary operational amplifier and the chopper circuit described in this application.
