Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of bandgap reference circuits, and in particular relates to a bandgap reference circuit which reduces a temperature drift coefficient by utilizing a segmented compensation technology. Background Art
[0002] As one of the most critical components in analog integrated circuits, bandgap references are widely used in a variety of integrated circuit devices, including operational amplifiers, digital-to-analog converters, analog-to-digital converters, and filters. They are widely used in practical projects. High-performance analog circuits must be supported by high-quality, highly stable current and voltage bias circuits, whose performance directly affects the circuit's power consumption, power supply rejection ratio, open-loop gain, and temperature characteristics. Existing segmented compensation circuits often require two or more op amps to generate independent positive and negative temperature currents, which occupies a large area and increases design complexity. Therefore, further innovation and new solutions are needed.
[0003] Existing segmented compensation band gaps require two op amp clamps to obtain independent positive and negative temperature currents, which will cause the impact of offset voltage, increase power consumption and area; independent negative temperature currents that do not use op amps have stability issues and require frequency compensation.
[0004] like Figure 3 As shown, the existing case uses op amp OP1 to clamp points A and B to obtain a positive temperature current:
[0005]
[0006] I PT To utilize the positive temperature current generated by the operational amplifier OP1, ΔV BE The base-collector voltage difference of the two transistors is used for current mirroring through VBP9.
[0007] Then use op amp OP2 to clamp points B and C to obtain negative temperature current:
[0008]
[0009] V CT To utilize the negative temperature current generated by op amp 2, V BE It is the base-collector voltage of Q3 and is mirrored by VBP7.
[0010] The output voltage of the first-order compensation is:
[0011] V E =(I PT +I CT )×(R1+R2)
[0012] V E is the voltage after first-order compensation; IPT is the positive temperature current generated by operational amplifier 1; I CT It is the negative temperature current generated by operational amplifier 2.
[0013] The second-order compensation part is similar to the present invention, and uses a subtraction circuit to process independent positive temperature current and negative temperature current, extracting a part of the current in the low temperature section and the high temperature section respectively to reduce the temperature drift coefficient of the final output voltage.
[0014] This solution uses two op amps, which can lead to offset voltage, increased power consumption and area, and increased circuit design difficulty. Furthermore, this solution does not adopt a cascode structure, resulting in a low power supply rejection ratio. Summary of the Invention
[0015] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a bandgap reference circuit that uses segmented compensation technology to reduce the temperature drift coefficient, adopts a common source and common gate structure for clamping, saves area and power consumption, and improves the power supply rejection ratio; through a positive temperature current working in the subthreshold region, the slope of this current is smaller than the positive temperature current slope formed by using a transistor, and these two positive temperature currents are used to perform segmented compensation to reduce the temperature drift coefficient of the bandgap.
[0016] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0017] A bandgap reference circuit that uses segmented compensation technology to reduce temperature drift coefficient includes four parts: a turn-on circuit, a first-order bandgap, a subthreshold positive temperature current, and a compensation circuit.

[0023] During the power-on process of the power supply voltage, the bias circuit composed of M1-M4 and M6 supplies power to the gate of the M8 tube. At the beginning of power-on, the M8 tube is turned on, and the potential of the VBN3 point is raised, so that the PTAT current generating circuit breaks away from the degenerate bias point and starts to work normally. When the output of the PTAT current generating circuit is normal, a near-zero temperature voltage Vref can be obtained to provide a gate voltage for the M5 tube, so that M5 starts to turn on. The gate voltage of the M6 tube gradually decreases until it is turned off. At the same time, the gate voltage of the M7 and M8 tubes gradually increases until the tubes are turned off, ending the power-on process.

[0025] The MOS tubes M14 to M17 form a set of cascode current mirrors to ensure that the currents in the two branches are the same. M18 to M21 form another set of cascode current mirrors. Since the currents in the two branches are the same, the VGS of M20 and M21 are the same. Since the gates of the two tubes are connected, the source voltage is also the same, replacing the virtual short function of the op amp, so that the source voltages of M20 and M21 are the same. The positive temperature current formula is:

[0027] I PT1 is the positive temperature current generated by the first-order band gap, ΔV BE is the base-collector voltage difference between the two transistors, and R6 is the resistance of this branch;
[0028] The current has a positive temperature coefficient, and the resistor selected is the RPPLOYU resistor with a very small temperature drift coefficient (temperature drift can be ignored). Therefore, the voltage across the resistor also has a positive temperature coefficient, while the base-emitter voltage of the transistor has a negative temperature coefficient. Adding the two voltages can obtain a voltage with nearly zero temperature drift. The formula for the first-order compensation voltage is:

[0038] According to the above formula, ΔV GS It has a positive temperature characteristic, so the current also has a positive temperature characteristic, and the temperature coefficient is smaller than the positive temperature characteristic of the transistor.

[0041] Positive temperature current I generated by subthreshold MOS PT2 Mirrored to the branch where M41 and M42 are located through M23 and M25, generating the size bit A1I PT2 The positive temperature current generated by the first-order band gap is I PT1 Mirrored to the M43 M44 branch through M15 and M17, the size is A2I PT1 The positive temperature current is adjusted by adjusting the two coefficients, so that A1I PT2 >A2I PT1 At this time, M29 in the current subtraction circuit will be turned on. As the temperature increases, the difference between the two currents continues to decrease. Therefore, the current on M29 is a negative temperature current. If the current after the mirror image through M30, M61, and M62 is A3I M29 , then the magnitude of this compensation current is:
[0042] I COMP_CT =A3(A1I PT2 -A2I PT1 )
[0043] I COMP_CT is the magnitude of the compensation current in the low temperature stage; A3 is the ratio of the mirror current of the M62 tube and the M61 tube; A1 is the ratio of the mirror current of the M41 tube and the M23 tube; A2 is the ratio of the mirror current of the M43 tube and the M15 tube; I PT2 It is the positive temperature current generated by subthreshold MOS;
[0044] I PT1 is the positive temperature current generated by the first-order band gap;
[0045] The compensation current is extracted from R8, and the voltage after compensation is:
[0046] V ref=I PT1 (R3+R8)+V BE3 -A3R8(A1I PT2 -A2I PT1 )
[0047] =V E -ΔV CT

[0049] Similarly, the high temperature section adjusts the size of the current mirror to adjust the size of the replica current, thereby increasing the value of the positive temperature current generated by the first-order band gap, so that B1I in the subtraction circuit PT2 <B2I PT1 At this time, M32 will be turned on. As the temperature increases, the difference between the two currents continues to increase. Therefore, the current on M32 is a positive temperature current, and the magnitude of the positive temperature compensation current generated is:
[0050] I COMP_PT =B3(B2I PT1 -B1I PT2 )
[0051] I COMP_PT is the size of the compensation current in the high temperature stage; B3 is the ratio of the mirror current of the M63 tube and the M64 tube; B1 is the ratio of the mirror current of the M35 tube and the M23 tube; B2 is the ratio of the mirror current of the M33 tube and the M15 tube.

[0053] V ref =I PT1 (R3+R8)+V BE3 -B3(B2I PT1 -B1I PT2 )
[0054] =V E -ΔV PT
[0055] V ref is the voltage after high temperature compensation; IPT1 is the positive temperature current generated by the first-order band gap; I PT2 is the positive temperature current generated by the subthreshold MOS; B3 is the ratio of the mirror current of the M63 tube and the M64 tube; B1 is the ratio of the mirror current of the M35 tube and the M23 tube; B2 is the ratio of the mirror current of the M33 tube and the M15 tube; V E is the voltage after first-order compensation; ΔV CT It is the voltage magnitude participating in the second-order compensation in the high temperature section.
[0056] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0057] The present invention realizes segmented compensation through two positive temperature currents with different slopes (the first-order band gap also provides a positive temperature current with a larger slope, and the subthreshold positive temperature current provides a positive temperature current with a smaller slope).
[0058] In the present invention, no operational amplifier is used in the main part of the bandgap, which simplifies the circuit structure, reduces the area and reduces the manufacturing cost.
[0059] During segmented compensation, the present invention does not need to generate an independent negative temperature current. Instead, segmented compensation is performed using a subthreshold positive temperature current that does not require an operational amplifier and a positive temperature generated by a first-order band gap, thereby avoiding the use of an operational amplifier and complex frequency compensation.
[0060] The present invention utilizes segmented compensation technology to reduce the temperature drift coefficient.
[0061] The current mirrors of the present invention, such as M14 to M17; M22 to M25, etc., all use a common source and common gate structure, thereby improving the power supply rejection ratio of the output voltage. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0064] Figure 3 This is the circuit diagram of the implementation scheme closest to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0065] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0066] Specific circuit Figure 1 As shown in FIG, the circuit is mainly composed of four parts: turn-on circuit, first-order band gap, subthreshold positive temperature current and compensation circuit.
[0067] M1 to M8 form the startup circuit, whose purpose is to eliminate the degenerate bias point of the PTAT current generation circuit, ensuring normal and stable operation. During the power-up process, the bias circuit formed by M1-M4 and M6 supplies power to the gate of transistor M8. Initially, M8 turns on, raising the potential at VBN3, allowing the PTAT current generation circuit to break free of the degenerate bias point and begin normal operation. When the PTAT current generation circuit outputs normally, a near-zero temperature voltage Vref is generated, providing gate voltage for transistor M5, causing it to begin conducting. The gate voltage of transistor M6 gradually decreases until it turns off. Simultaneously, the gate voltages of transistors M7 and M8 gradually increase until they turn off, completing the power-up process.
[0068] M14-M21, R4-R6, Q1Q2 together form a positive temperature circuit. The cascode current mirror can replace the virtual short function of the op amp, making the source voltage of M20 and M21 the same. The positive temperature current formula is:
[0069]
[0070] The current has a positive temperature coefficient, and the resistor selected is the RPPLOYU resistor with a very small temperature drift coefficient (temperature drift can be ignored). Therefore, the voltage across the resistor also has a positive temperature coefficient, while the base-emitter voltage of the transistor has a negative temperature coefficient. Adding the two voltages can obtain a voltage with nearly zero temperature drift. The formula for the first-order compensation voltage is:
[0071] V E =I PT1 (R3+R8)+V BE3
[0072] M22 to M27 and R7 together form a positive temperature current, the current magnitude is:
[0073]
[0074] M26 and M27 work in the subthreshold region. According to the characteristics of MOS in the subthreshold region, ΔV GS It has a positive temperature characteristic, so the current also has a positive temperature characteristic, and the temperature coefficient is smaller than the positive temperature characteristic of the transistor.
[0075] The first-order compensation curve is a concave curve, with the current on both sides being greater than the current in the middle. If a portion of the current on both sides is removed, the temperature drift of the curve can be reduced. Figure 2As shown, in the low-temperature stage, the cause of excessive temperature drift is an excessively large negative temperature coefficient, resulting in a negative temperature characteristic in the output voltage. Therefore, by adjusting the two positive temperature currents, the current with the high temperature coefficient is higher than the current with the high temperature coefficient. The difference between the two currents is the negative temperature current. Through M61, a portion of the negative temperature current is drawn from the output resistor to achieve temperature compensation for the low-temperature portion. Meanwhile, in the high-temperature stage, the excessively large positive temperature coefficient causes excessive temperature drift. By drawing an appropriately large positive temperature current through the input resistor, temperature compensation for the high-temperature portion is achieved.
[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, the positive temperature current I generated by the subthreshold MOS PT2 Mirror M23 M25 to the branch where M41 M42 is located, generating the size bit A1I PT2 The positive temperature current generated by the bandgap reference is I PT1 Mirror M15 M17 to M43 M44 branch, generating a size of A2I PT1 The positive temperature current is adjusted by adjusting the two coefficients, so that A1I PT2 >A2I PT1 , at this time M29 in the current subtraction circuit will be turned on, such as Figure 2 As shown, as the temperature increases, the difference between the two currents decreases continuously, so the current on M29 is a negative temperature current. If the current after mirroring through M30, M61, and M62 is A3I M29 , then the magnitude of this compensation current is:
[0077] I COMP_CT =A3(A1I PT2 -A2I PT1 )
[0078] The compensation current is extracted from R8, and the voltage after compensation is:
[0079] V E =I PT1 (R3+R8)+V BE3 -A3R8(A1I PT2 -A2I PT1 )
[0080] =V ref -ΔV CT
[0081] Similarly, in the high temperature section, the size of the current mirror is adjusted to make B1I in the subtraction circuit PT2 <B2I PT1 , at this time M32 will be turned on, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, as the temperature increases, the difference between the two currents continues to increase. Therefore, the current on M32 is a positive temperature current, and the magnitude of the positive temperature compensation current generated is:
[0082] I COMP_PT =B3(B2I PT1 -B1I PT2 )
[0083] The compensation current is also extracted from R8, and the voltage after compensation is:
[0084] V E =I PT1 (R3+R8)+V BE3 -B3(B2I PT1 -B1I PT2 )
[0085] =V ref -ΔV PT .
