[0072] In this embodiment, the first input terminal of the first voltage sampling circuit 501 is connected to the first voltage input terminal for sampling the first input voltage VEB1. The first input terminal of the first voltage sampling circuit 501 has a first sampling coefficient. According to the first sampling coefficient, the first voltage sampling circuit 501 samples the first input voltage VEB1 to obtain a first sampled voltage.
[0073] The second input terminal of the first voltage sampling circuit 501 is connected to the first voltage input terminal for sampling the first input voltage VEB1. The second input terminal of the first voltage sampling circuit 501 has a second sampling coefficient. According to the second sampling coefficient, the first voltage sampling circuit 501 samples the first input voltage VEB1 to obtain a second sampled voltage.
[0074] An input terminal of the first calibration circuit 10 is connected to the second voltage input terminal, and is used to obtain a second input voltage VEB2 and generate a second calibration voltage.
[0075] The output end of the first voltage sampling circuit 501 and the output end of the first calibration circuit 10 are both connected to the positive input end of the proportional integration circuit 503. The proportional integration circuit 503 performs proportional integration on the first sampling voltage and the second sampling voltage to generate a first output voltage. At the same time, the proportional integration circuit 503 also performs proportional integration on the second calibration voltage to generate a second output calibration voltage.
[0076] Similarly, the second input terminal of the second voltage sampling circuit 502 is connected to the second voltage input terminal for sampling the second input voltage VEB2. The second input terminal of the second voltage sampling circuit 502 has a second sampling coefficient. Based on the second sampling coefficient, the second voltage sampling circuit 502 samples the second input voltage VEB2 to obtain a third sampled voltage. In addition, the first output terminal of the second voltage sampling circuit 502 also has the first sampling coefficient.
[0077] An input terminal of the second calibration circuit 20 is connected to the first voltage input terminal, and is used to obtain a first input voltage VBE1 and generate a first calibration voltage.

[0079] A calibration reference voltage is obtained based on the first output calibration voltage and the second output calibration voltage. The output voltage of the bandgap reference voltage source is calculated based on the difference between the first output voltage and the second output voltage. The output voltage difference is calculated based on the output voltage and the calibration reference voltage as the input voltage of the comparison circuit. The comparison circuit determines the output level based on the magnitude of the output voltage difference.
[0080] Among them, if the output voltage is greater than the calibration reference voltage, that is, the output voltage difference is greater than 0, the comparison circuit outputs a high level, and the control circuit generates control signals for the first voltage sampling circuit 501 and the second voltage sampling circuit 502 respectively according to the high-level signal. The control signal lowers the voltage sampling coefficients of the first voltage sampling circuit 501 and the second voltage sampling circuit 502 according to the preset adjustment ratio, that is, lowers the first sampling coefficient and the second sampling coefficient.
[0081] If the output voltage is less than the calibration reference voltage, that is, the output voltage difference is less than 0, the comparison circuit outputs a low level, and the control circuit generates control signals for the first voltage sampling circuit 501 and the second voltage sampling circuit 502 respectively according to the low level signal. The control signals increase the voltage sampling coefficients of the first voltage sampling circuit 501 and the second voltage sampling circuit 502 according to a preset adjustment ratio, that is, increase the first sampling coefficient and the second sampling coefficient.
[0082] The preset adjustment ratio is the ratio of the change in the PTAT voltage of the bandgap reference voltage source to the change in the CTAT voltage. By adjusting the voltage sampling coefficients of the first voltage sampling circuit 501 and the second voltage sampling circuit 502, the positive temperature coefficient and the negative temperature coefficient of the bandgap reference voltage source are actually adjusted, thereby achieving adjustment of the PTAT voltage and the CTAT voltage of the bandgap reference voltage source, thereby simultaneously adjusting the absolute value and the temperature coefficient of the bandgap reference voltage.

[0129] Figure 3 The bandgap reference circuit shown is a circuit schematic diagram of a bandgap reference voltage source operating in calibration mode, for example. Figure 4 The circuit schematic diagram of the bandgap reference voltage source in the output mode provided by the embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, when the bandgap reference voltage source exits the calibration mode and enters the output mode, ie, the working mode, the first calibration circuit, the second calibration circuit, the comparison circuit, and the control circuit no longer participate in the calibration and control of the bandgap reference voltage source.
[0130] Among them, the calibration mode can be triggered under preset conditions or timed triggering. The triggering under preset conditions can be, for example, triggered when the chip where the bandgap reference circuit is located is powered on or when the working environment fluctuates greatly. The timed triggering can be, for example, triggered by using a clock signal. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0131] The bandgap reference circuit provided in the above embodiment calibrates the sampling voltages of the first voltage sampling circuit and the second voltage sampling circuit in a calibration mode based on the calibration voltages generated by the first calibration circuit and the second calibration circuit. By calibrating both the first voltage sampling circuit and the second voltage sampling circuit, the positive temperature coefficient voltage and the negative temperature coefficient voltage of the bandgap reference voltage source are adjusted, and the absolute value and temperature coefficient of the bandgap reference voltage are calibrated at the same time, so that the bandgap reference voltage is not affected by temperature and process fluctuations. Based on the first calibration circuit, the second calibration circuit, the comparison circuit, and the control circuit, self-calibration of the bandgap reference voltage source can be achieved without manual intervention in the calibration.
[0132] In a possible implementation, the embodiment of the present application further provides a bandgap reference voltage calibration method, which is applied to the above-mentioned bandgap reference voltage. Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the process of the bandgap reference voltage calibration method provided in the embodiment of the present application Figure 1 ,like Figure 5 As shown, the method may include:
[0133] S101 : When a bandgap reference voltage source is in a calibration mode, a first integrated voltage and a second integrated voltage are generated by a first voltage sampling circuit and a proportional integral circuit, and a third integrated voltage is generated by a second voltage sampling circuit and a proportional integral circuit.
[0134] S102 : Generate a first calibration voltage through a first calibration circuit and a proportional-integral circuit, and generate a second calibration voltage through a second calibration circuit and a discharge circuit.
[0135] S103: Calculating an output voltage difference according to the first integrated voltage, the second integrated voltage, the third integrated voltage, the first calibration voltage, and the second calibration voltage.
[0136] S104: Outputting a comparison result according to the output voltage difference through the comparison circuit.
[0137] S105: Generate control signals for the first voltage sampling circuit and the second voltage sampling circuit according to the comparison result and the preset adjustment ratio through the control circuit, so as to adjust the positive temperature coefficient and the negative temperature coefficient of the bandgap reference voltage source by adjusting the voltage sampling coefficients of the first voltage sampling circuit and the second voltage sampling circuit.
[0138] S106: After the calibration is completed, the bandgap reference voltage source exits the calibration mode and outputs the bandgap reference voltage in the output mode.
[0139] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, when the bandgap reference voltage source is in the calibration mode, the first voltage sampling circuit samples the first input voltage VEB1 according to the first sampling coefficient to obtain a first sampled voltage. The first voltage sampling circuit also samples the first input voltage VEB1 according to the second sampling coefficient to obtain a second sampled voltage. The first sampled voltage is integrated by the proportional integration circuit to obtain a first integrated voltage. The second sampled voltage is integrated by the proportional integration circuit to obtain a second integrated voltage. The proportional integration circuit outputs a first output voltage VOUT1 according to the first integrated voltage and the second integrated voltage.
[0140] The second voltage sampling circuit samples the second input voltage VEB2 according to the second sampling coefficient to obtain a third sampling voltage. The third sampling voltage is integrated by the proportional integration circuit to obtain a third integrated voltage. The proportional integration circuit outputs a second output voltage VOUT2 according to the third integrated voltage.
[0141] The first calibration circuit generates a second calibration voltage based on the second input voltage VEB2, and the proportional-integral circuit also performs proportional integration on the second calibration voltage to generate a second output calibration voltage; the second calibration circuit generates a first calibration voltage based on the first input voltage VBE1, and the proportional-integral circuit also performs proportional integration on the first calibration voltage to generate a first output calibration voltage.
[0142] A calibration reference voltage is obtained based on the first output calibration voltage and the second output calibration voltage. The output voltage of the bandgap reference voltage source is determined based on the difference between the first output voltage VOUT1 and the second output voltage VOUT2. The output voltage difference is calculated based on the output voltage and the calibration reference voltage as the input voltage of the comparison circuit. The comparison circuit determines the output level based on the magnitude of the output voltage difference.
[0143] Among them, if the output voltage is greater than the calibration reference voltage, that is, the output voltage difference is greater than 0, the comparison circuit outputs a high level, and the control circuit generates control signals for the first voltage sampling circuit and the second voltage sampling circuit respectively according to the high-level signal. The control signal lowers the voltage sampling coefficients of the first voltage sampling circuit and the second voltage sampling circuit according to a preset adjustment ratio, that is, lowers the first sampling coefficient and the second sampling coefficient.
[0144] If the output voltage is less than the calibration reference voltage, that is, the output voltage difference is less than 0, the comparison circuit outputs a low level, and the control circuit generates control signals for the first voltage sampling circuit and the second voltage sampling circuit respectively according to the low level signal. The control signals increase the voltage sampling coefficients of the first voltage sampling circuit and the second voltage sampling circuit according to a preset adjustment ratio, that is, increase the first sampling coefficient and the second sampling coefficient.
[0145] Among them, the preset adjustment ratio is the ratio of the change in the PTAT voltage of the bandgap reference voltage source to the change in the CTAT voltage. By adjusting the voltage sampling coefficients of the first voltage sampling circuit and the second sampling voltage, what is actually adjusted is the positive temperature coefficient and the negative temperature coefficient of the bandgap reference voltage source, thereby achieving the adjustment of the PTAT voltage and the CTAT voltage of the bandgap reference voltage source, so as to simultaneously adjust the absolute value and temperature coefficient of the bandgap reference voltage.
[0146] For example, Figure 6 The calibration flow chart provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, set the preset calibration times. After the calibration is triggered, the calibration times are cleared. During a calibration process, each time a calibration is performed, the calibration times are increased by 1, and the calibration times are compared with the preset calibration times. If the calibration times are less than the preset calibration times, continue to perform the above process for calibration. If the calibration times are greater than or equal to the preset calibration times, exit the calibration mode and switch to the output mode.
[0147] The following combination Figure 3 、 Figure 4 The specific working principle of the bandgap reference circuit in calibration mode and output mode is explained.
[0148] For a general bandgap reference voltage, its expression is:
[0149] VREF=VBE+k*ΔVBE (1)
[0150] Wherein, VBE is the CTAT voltage, ΔVBE is the PTAT voltage, and the prior art adjusts the absolute value or temperature drift of the bandgap reference voltage by adjusting the coefficient k of the PTAT voltage.
[0151] Figure 7 is a circuit schematic diagram for generating voltage, such as Figure 7As shown, the area ratio of Q2 and Q1 is SQ2:SQ1=N1, I1:I2=N2.
[0152] In calibration mode, if Figure 3 As shown, first, the switch units S1n, S1n' and the first switch unit S1n in each switch group are I1 and the second switch unit S I2 At the same time, the switch units S2n and S2n' in each switch group are opened at the same time, and the first integral capacitor C I1 and the second integrating capacitor C I2 The charge on the capacitors is cleared, and each sampling capacitor is charged. Then, the switch units S1n, S1n' and the first switch unit S1n in each switch group are charged. I1 and the second switch unit S I2 At the same time, the switch units S2n and S2n' in each switch group are closed at the same time, and the charges stored on each sampling capacitor are transferred to the first integrating capacitor C I1 and the second integrating capacitor C I2 Transfer is performed, and according to the charge conservation law, the output voltage is:
[0153]
[0154] Among them, VBE1 is the CTAT voltage, ΔVBE=VBE1-VBE2 is the PTAT voltage, where This is the coefficient k of the PTAT voltage.
[0155] Since ΔVBE is not sensitive to temperature and process fluctuations, it can be used as a reference source for calibrating the absolute value of the bandgap reference voltage. A standard calibration reference voltage is constructed using ΔVBE, so CS3 meets the following conditions:
[0156]
[0157] Then, the input voltage of the comparison circuit can be:
[0158]
[0159] When the comparison circuit outputs a high level, the control circuit adjusts C according to the preset adjustment ratio. S11 、C S12 and C S21 、C S22 When the comparison circuit outputs a low level, the control circuit adjusts the C S11 、C S12 and C S21 、C S22 Increase proportionally.
[0160] Among them, the first sampling capacitor C S11 and the third sampling capacitor C S12 The capacitance values are equal, both are C S1 , the second sampling capacitor C S21 and the fourth sampling capacitor C S22 The capacitance values are equal, both are C S2 , the fifth sampling capacitor CS 31 and the sixth sampling capacitor C S32 The capacitance values are equal, both are C S3 , the first integrating capacitor C I1 and the second integrating capacitor C I2 The capacitance values are equal, both are C I .
[0161] After completing the calibration, the calibration mode can be switched to the output mode. Figure 4 As shown, the process of output mode is as follows:
[0162] First, the switch units S1n and the first switch unit S1n in each switch group I1 and the second switch unit S I2 At the same time, the switch units S2n in each switch group are opened at the same time, and the first sampling capacitor C S11 , the second sampling capacitor CS21 , the third sampling capacitor C S12 and the fourth sampling capacitor C S22 Charging, taking VOUT1 as an example:
[0163] Q1=(VCM-VBE1)C S1 +(VCM-VBE1)C S2 (5)
[0164] Secondly, the switch units S1n and the first switch unit S1n in each switch group I1 and the second switch unit S I2 At the same time, the switch units S2n in each switch group are closed at the same time to redistribute the charge:
[0165] (VCM-VBE1)C S1 +(VCM-VBE1)C S2 =(VCM-VOUT1)C I (6)
[0166]
[0167] Similarly, VOUT2 is:
[0168]
[0169] The final output voltage is:
[0170]
[0171] By adjusting CS1 and CS2 through the above adjustment process, the CTAT voltage VBE1 and the PTAT voltage ΔVBE are adjusted.
[0172] The bandgap reference voltage calibration method provided in the above embodiment calibrates the sampling voltages of the first voltage sampling circuit and the second voltage sampling circuit in a calibration mode based on the calibration voltages generated by the first calibration circuit and the second calibration circuit. By calibrating both the first voltage sampling circuit and the second voltage sampling circuit, the positive temperature coefficient voltage and the negative temperature coefficient voltage of the bandgap reference voltage source are adjusted, and the absolute value and temperature coefficient of the bandgap reference voltage are calibrated at the same time, so that the bandgap reference voltage is not affected by temperature and process fluctuations. Based on the first calibration circuit, the second calibration circuit, the comparison circuit, and the control circuit, self-calibration of the bandgap reference voltage source can be achieved without manual intervention in the calibration.
[0173] Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the process of the bandgap reference voltage calibration method provided in the embodiment of the present application Figure 2 ,like Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the process of calculating the preset adjustment ratio is:
[0174] S201: Determine a bandgap reference voltage of a bandgap reference voltage source in a current state.
[0175] S202: Adjust the temperature coefficient of the bandgap reference voltage to determine a first voltage change amount of a positive temperature coefficient and a first voltage change amount of a negative temperature coefficient.
[0176] S203: Adjust the absolute value of the bandgap reference voltage to determine a second voltage change amount with a positive temperature coefficient and a second voltage change amount with a negative temperature coefficient.
[0177] S204 : Determine a preset trimming ratio of the bandgap reference voltage source in a current state according to the first voltage variation of the positive temperature coefficient, the first voltage variation of the negative temperature coefficient, the second voltage variation of the positive temperature coefficient, and the second voltage variation of the negative temperature coefficient.
[0178] In this embodiment, according to the BSIM model, it can be obtained that:
[0179]
[0180] Among them, η F is the forward emission coefficient of the transistor, I E is the collector current, β Fis the common emitter current gain, I S is the reverse saturation current of the transistor. S0 ,η F0 and β F0 , respectively I S ,η F and β F Value under TT process angle; as well as It is related to the selected process and is insensitive to temperature and process angle; σ changes with different process angles; T r is the reference temperature, and Xti is the temperature index of the reverse saturation current. G (T) Band gap energy V at temperature T T (T) Thermovoltage at temperature T.
[0181] If we assume that the output voltage at the TT process angle is:
[0182] VREF=VBE+k*ΔVBE (13)
[0183] Then, by using the bandgap reference voltage to find the partial derivative of the process angle σ, we can finally get the bandgap reference voltage with process fluctuations:
[0184]
[0185] The VBE1 and ΔVBE mentioned above are the values at the TT process angle, and Δσ is the change of σ relative to σ at the TT process angle. F greater than 0, To be greater than Therefore, it can be analyzed that is a PTAT voltage.
[0186] Furthermore, in order to take into account the absolute value and temperature coefficient of the bandgap reference voltage, both the PTAT voltage and the CTAT voltage need to be adjusted. The above formula (25) can be expressed as:
[0187]
[0188] After trimming with the temperature coefficient as the target:
[0189] VREF 2,TC = VREF2 + k3 * ΔVBE + t1 * VBE (27)
[0190] At this time, VREF 2,TC The temperature derivative needs to be zero, that is:
[0191] VREF2'+k3*ΔVBE'+t1*VBE'=0 (28)
[0192] Wherein, k3 represents the change in PTAT voltage when the temperature coefficient is trimmed, and t1 represents the change in CTAT voltage when the temperature coefficient is trimmed.
[0193] After adjusting with absolute value as target:
[0194] VREF 2,value = VREF2 + k4 * ΔVBE + t2 * VBE (29)
[0195] At this time, VREF 2,value It needs to be equal to VREF under the TT angle, that is:
[0196] VREF2+k4*ΔVBE+t2*VBE-VBE-k*ΔVBE=0 (30)
[0197] Here, k4 represents the change in the PTAT voltage when the absolute value is trimmed, and t2 represents the change in the CTAT voltage when the absolute value is trimmed.
[0198] To take both absolute value and temperature drift into account during adjustment, the following conditions must be met:
[0199] k3=k4 (31)
[0200] t1=t2 (32)
[0201] Combining the formula in the BMIS model, we can get:
[0202]
[0203] t1=t2=k ηF Δσ (34)
[0204] From the above formula, we can get the preset adjustment ratio:
[0205]
[0206] When the process is selected, k, η F and k Is Insensitive to temperature and process angle, N1 and N2 are not sensitive to temperature and process, due to β F In advanced processes, the ratio of the two voltages is weakly correlated with process and temperature, so while the temperature fluctuation is small, it can be seen that by proportionally adjusting the PTAT and CTAT voltages, both the absolute value and the temperature coefficient of the bandgap reference voltage can be adjusted.
