It is to be noted that the drawings provided in the present embodiment only schematically illustrate the basic concept of the present application, and thus the drawings only show the components related to the present application, rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. The shape, number and proportion of each component in actual implementation can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout pattern of the components can be more complicated.

Any modification of the structure, change of the proportional relationship or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effect and purpose that can be achieved by the present application, should still fall within the scope covered by the disclosed technical content of the present application.

[0035] As described in the background section, the inventors have found that, for a conventional first-order bandgap reference circuit as shown in Figure 1 , the basic idea is to obtain a reference voltage with zero temperature characteristic by weighting and adding the voltages generated by the resistors by the current with negative temperature coefficient and the current with positive temperature coefficient. In the circuit, the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 are made of the same material, the first PMOS transistor P1 and the third PMOS transistor P3 have the same channel width and length, the second PMOS transistor P2 and the fourth PMOS transistor P4 have the same channel width and length, the fifth PMOS transistor P5 and the seventh PMOS transistor P7 have the same channel width and length, the sixth PMOS transistor P6 and the eighth PMOS transistor P8 have the same channel width and length, the channel width and length ratio of the first PMOS transistor P1 and the second PMOS transistor P2 is α1 times that of the fifth PMOS transistor P5 and the sixth PMOS transistor P6, the channel width and length ratio of the ninth PMOS transistor P9 and the tenth PMOS transistor P10 is α2 times that of the fifth PMOS transistor P5 and the sixth PMOS transistor P6, the ratio of the emitter area of the first PNP transistor Q1 and the second PNP transistor Q2 is m:1, the ratio of the emitter area of the third PNP transistor Q3 and the fourth PNP transistor Q4 is n:1, and the influence of the current gain β of the transistor is ignored. Then, the difference between the base-emitter voltage of the first PNP transistor Q1 and the base-emitter voltage of the second PNP transistor Q2 can be expressed as:

[0036]

[0037] The difference between the base-emitter voltage of the third PNP transistor Q3 and the base-emitter voltage of the fourth PNP transistor Q4 can be expressed as:

[0038]

[0039] Due to the clamping of the operational amplifier A, the voltages of nodes a and b are equal, and the current flowing through the first resistor R1 can be represented as:

[0040]

[0041] The bandgap reference voltage can be represented as:

[0042] However, due to the base-emitter voltage V BE,Q5 has nonlinearity, therefore, the output voltage of the conventional first-order bandgap reference circuit has the disadvantage of high temperature coefficient, making the bandgap reference voltage V REF output by the conventional first-order bandgap reference circuit has a large temperature drift, which greatly limits its application in high-precision systems. At the same time, due to the difference in the emitter area of the first PNP transistor Q1, the second PNP transistor Q2, the third PNP transistor Q3, the fourth PNP transistor Q4 and the fifth PNP transistor Q5, the corresponding current gain β will be different, and in the standard CMOS process, due to the small current gain β of the transistor, the base current of the third PNP transistor Q3 and the fourth PNP transistor Q4 will bring errors to the emitter current of the first PNP transistor Q1 and the second PNP transistor Q2, and further bring errors to the bandgap reference voltage V REF output finally.

[0043] Based on this, the present application provides a bandgap reference circuit technical scheme, which realizes low temperature drift of the reference output voltage in a wider temperature range by using high-order temperature compensation.

[0059] In more detail, as Figures 2-3As shown, the present application adopts a feedback type start-up and bias module and a positive temperature coefficient current generation module to generate a closed loop feedback, so that the bandgap reference circuit can get rid of the degenerate bias point and quickly stabilize the output at power-up.

[0060] In more detail, as shown in Figures 2-3 In order to overcome the error caused by the current gain β of the transistor, the present application adopts a base current compensation module, the principle of which is to introduce a compensation current whose size is equal to the base current of the transistor, so that the collector current flowing through the transistor is stable and completely equal.

[0062] In more detail, as shown in Figure 3 The current I8 can be expressed as which exhibits a negative temperature coefficient, so the current I3 flowing through the thirteenth PMOS tube P13 and the current I4 flowing through the fifteenth PMOS tube P15 exhibit a negative temperature coefficient.

[0063] When the transistor is positively biased, its base-emitter voltage can be expressed as

[0064] Due to the compensation effect of the base current, the collector currents of the fourth PNP transistor Q4 and the fifth PNP transistor Q5 are I1, and the collector currents of the second PNP transistor Q2 and the third PNP transistor Q3 are I3-I6-I B4 , I4-I7-I B5 , I4-I7-I B4 , I4-I7-I B5 , I4-I7-I NL , I4-I7-I

[0065] Therefore, the difference between the base-emitter voltages of the fourth PNP transistor Q4 and the fifth PNP transistor Q5 can be expressed as:

[0066]

[0067] The difference between the base-emitter voltages of the second PNP transistor Q2 and the third PNP transistor Q3 can be expressed as:

[0068]

[0069] Assuming I6=k1I1, I7=k2I1 (0<k1<1, 0<k2<1), and I B4 =I B5 =I1 / β, let then

[0070] (assuming α1<α2)

[0071] Since I1 is a positive temperature coefficient current, I8 is a negative temperature coefficient current, and η varies with temperature.

[0072] I1 can be expressed as which exhibits a positive temperature coefficient.

[0073] Since Therefore, the positive temperature coefficient current I1 can be expressed as:

[0074]

[0075] Since I9=α3I1, the output bandgap reference voltage can be expressed as:

[0076]

[0077] where, η is related to temperature T, and V NL is a high-order term of temperature T.

[0078] because V BE The temperature coefficient is temperature-dependent and contains higher-order temperature terms. Meanwhile, V BE The temperature coefficient also contains a first-order term related to temperature. Therefore, by selecting and adjusting the parameters, the first-order term related to temperature in the positive temperature coefficient current I1 can be optimized. or With V BE,Q1 The first-order terms related to temperature cancel each other out, which allows the higher-order terms related to temperature in the positive temperature coefficient current I1 to be reduced. Or V NL With V BE,Q1 The higher-order terms related to temperature cancel each other out, affecting the bandgap reference voltage V. REF Performing first-order and higher-order temperature compensation reduces the bandgap reference voltage V. REF Temperature drift.
