[0044] The detailed working process of this invention is as follows:

[0045] The control signal is CK <0> CK <1> CK <2> CK <3> The circuit is constructed such that the control signals are initially all zero. The output voltage Vout is generated by the bandgap reference circuit structure. The basic principle is that when the reference circuit is working normally, bipolar transistors Q2 and Q3 operate at different current densities, and the difference between their base-collector voltages has a positive temperature coefficient; the base-emitter voltage of the bipolar transistor has a negative temperature coefficient, and a linear combination of the two can form a voltage with a zero temperature coefficient. The clamping effect of the operational amplifier makes V+ = V-. Therefore, the current flowing through resistor R1 is:

[0046]

[0047] In the formula, VT is the thermal voltage, which has a positive temperature coefficient; N is the ratio of the emitter area of ​​Q2 (Q2=Q1) to that of Q3 (Q3=Q4). It is the difference between the emitter and base voltages of the first transistor Q1. It is the difference between the emitter and base voltages of the second transistor Q2. It is the difference between the emitter and base voltages of the third transistor Q3. It is the difference between the emitter and base voltages of the fourth transistor Q4.

[0048] Since transistors PM1 to PM4 form a current mirror structure with the same width-to-length ratio, and the current in each branch is almost equal, the output reference voltage is:

[0049]

[0050] The output voltage can be obtained from the bandgap reference circuit according to the above formula. However, in actual applications, due to manufacturing or process deviations, the output voltage and temperature drift may deviate from the ideal value. In this case, the control signal can be adjusted as needed.

[0051] It mainly consists of a current regulation path, and the control signal CK <0> When the signal is high, the switch can be closed, and the current sources I11 and I12 in the current control path are equal to the current source I1 in current mirror network 1; the current sources I21 and I22 are equal to the current source I2 in current mirror network 2. When the control signal CK... <0> When the current level is high, the power supply, current source I11, current source I22, and ground form a current path in the current regulation path; and because current source I11 and current source I22 are not equal, the remaining current will flow into resistor R3 and transistor Q4 through the node, or the remaining current will flow into current source I22 through the node.

[0052] For example, if the control signal CK <0> When the voltage level is high, the power supply, current source I11, current source I22, and ground form a current path in the current control path. If current source I11 is greater than current source I22, then... This will be channeled into resistor R3 and transistor Q4, causing changes in temperature drift and output voltage Vout. Similarly, if the control signal CK... <0> CKN is at a low level. <0> For CK <0> The inverted signal, in the current control path, the power supply, current source I21, current source I12, and ground form a current path. If current source I21 is less than current source I12, then... The current flowing through resistor R3 and transistor Q4 will decrease. This causes changes in temperature drift and output voltage Vout.

[0053] In current mirror network 1, the first NMOS transistor NM1, the second NMOS transistor NM2, the third NMOS transistor NM3, and the fourth NMOS transistor NM4 form a current mirror. Based on the width-to-length ratio of NM1 to NM2, NM3, and NM4, the width-to-length ratio of NM1 to NM2, NM3, and NM4 is set to Q:J:K:M = 1:4:2:1, and the control signal CK... <1> Control signal CK <2> Control signal CK <3> When the level is high, the corresponding NMOS transistor can be turned on, thereby controlling the magnitude of the current source I1 flowing through it.

[0054] In current mirror network 2, the sixth NMOS transistor NM6, the seventh NMOS transistor NM7, the eighth NMOS transistor NM8, and the ninth NMOS transistor NM9 form a current mirror. Based on the width-to-length ratio of NM6 to NM7, NM8, and NM9, this ratio is set to Q:J:K:M = 1:4:2:1, and the control signal CK... <1> Control signal CK <2> Control signal CK <3> When the level is high, the corresponding NMOS transistor can be turned on, thereby controlling the magnitude of the current source I2 flowing through it.

[0055] To illustrate this more clearly, the present invention provides an example of the output voltage change when binary changes occur in a binary-controlled bandgap reference temperature drift and output voltage circuit. Based on the characteristics of the circuit structure, and for ease of description, we will use... , And current Assuming the current flowing through transistor Q4 is 10uA, and the output voltage Vout is set to 1.2V.

[0056] For each bit change in the control signal from 0000 to 0111, the output voltage is:

[0057]

[0058] here , =1kΩ, Here we assume , The transistor's β is set to 20, and the initial Vout = 1.2V. This is the current flowing through the fourth transistor Q4 when the current regulation path is not open. β is the current flowing through the fourth transistor Q4 after the current regulation path is turned on, ignoring the base current; β is the current amplification factor of the transistor.

[0059] Table 1 lists the control signals CK. <0> : CK <1> : CK <2> : CK <3> When the voltage changes from 0000 to 01111, the output voltage Vout changes, CK <0> If I = 0, then the power supply, I21, I12, and ground maintain a closed circuit, and the current flows... The current flowing through resistor R3 and transistor Q4 decreases. With each adjustment step, Vout decreases by 5.658mV, thereby correcting the situation where the output voltage deviates from the ideal value due to manufacturing or process deviations.

[0060] CK<0>:<1>:<2>:<3> Output voltage Vout / V Adjustment / mV 0000 1.2 0 0001 1.19432 -5.658 0010 1.188684 -11.316 0011 1.183026 -16.974 0100 1.177368 -22.632 0101 1.17171 -28.29 0110 1.166025 -33.948 0111 1.160394 -39.606

[0061] Table 1 Adjustment reduces output voltage

[0062] Table 2 lists the control signals CK. <0> : CK <1> : CK <2> : CK <3> When the voltage changes from 1000 to 11111, the output voltage Vout changes, and CK... <0> =1, then the power supply, I12, I21, and ground maintain a closed circuit, and the current flows... The current flowing through resistor R3 and transistor Q4 increases. With each adjustment step, Vout increases by 4.358mV, thereby correcting the situation where the output voltage deviates from the ideal value due to manufacturing or process deviations.

[0063] CK<0>:<1>:<2>:<3> Output voltage Vout / V Adjustment / mV 1000 1.2 0 1001 1.204358 +4.358 1010 1.208716 +8.716 1011 1.213074 +13.074 1100 1.217432 +17.432 1101 1.22179 +21.79 1110 1.226148 +26.148 1111 1.230506 +30.506

[0064] Table 2 Adjustment to increase output voltage

[0065] It can be seen that the adjustment step can be controlled by controlling the values ​​of Ibias1 and Ibias2, and the current flowing through resistor R3 and transistor Q4 can be controlled by controlling the high and low levels of the control signal, thereby controlling the output voltage Vout. From the table above, it can be analyzed that if we assume... , then CK <0> =0 can reduce its output voltage; CK <0> =1 can increase its output voltage.

[0066] Binary values ​​enable the mirror image ratio through the current mirror to achieve CK. <1> CK <2> CK <3> The current ratio of the current in the circuit is 4:2:1, thus realizing binary current regulation. Finally, the binary current is reflected in the output Vout, and the output Vout is regulated.

[0067] The circuit structure also affects temperature drift, but temperature drift requires specific analysis of the actual circuit to determine how the output voltage changes with temperature. The simulation calculations of the actual circuit are based on this, but the underlying principles are basically the same as those described above, so they will not be elaborated further.

[0068] The above description is merely a description of preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the above disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the claims.
