[0088] The drain ends of the branch switches PM17 to PM21 of each branch of the first current mirror unit 301 are connected to each other as the output end of the first current mirror unit 301;

[0089] The second current mirror unit 302 includes N branches, which is the same as the number of branches of the first current mirror unit 301, where N=5, and is used to mirror and amplify the second current ICTAT according to different proportional relationships. Each branch includes a PMOS tube and a branch switch. The PMOS tube is denoted as PM12 to PM16. The branch switch uses a PMOS tube, denoted as PM22 to PM26.

[0096] The output end of the first current mirror unit 301 is connected to the output end of the second current mirror unit 302 to serve as the output end of the current trimming circuit 30 .

[0097] The first current IPTAT with a positive temperature coefficient flows through PMOS tubes PM7 to PM11, and the second current ICTAT with a negative temperature coefficient flows through PMOS tubes PM12 to PM16. The two currents are added at the output end in a certain proportional relationship to form a trimming current Itotal with a positive or negative temperature coefficient. The expression is:

[0102] In this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, branch switches PM17 and PM22 are always turned on, and control signals S0-S3 of branch switches PM18-PM21 and control signals S0N-S3N of branch switches PM23-PM26 are opposite signals. The digital signal ITRIM<3:0> can be used to select whether to turn on / off branch switches PM18-PM21, PM23-PM26 to adjust the current Itotal.

[0103] Furthermore, the voltage source circuit of this embodiment further includes: a first control signal generating circuit, configured to provide control signals for branch switches in each branch of the first current mirror unit and control signals for branch switches in each branch of the second current mirror unit.

[0108] The resistance after the resistance trimming circuit 40 is trimmed is recorded as Rtrim. The digital signal RTRIM<3:0> can be used to control the on / off of the MOS transistors NM3 - NM6 , so as to trim the resistance Rtrim.

[0109] The trimmed current Itotal generates an output voltage after passing through the trimming resistor Rtrim, and its expression is:

[0110]

[0111] (Formula 4) Taking partial derivatives of both sides with respect to T, we get

[0112]

[0113] From (Equation 5), it can be seen that the trimmed current has a temperature coefficient that can be positive or negative, and because the resistor is also trimmed, the voltage source has a temperature coefficient and both the temperature coefficient and the voltage value can be trimmed. In addition, the slope of the voltage source after current trimming is radial and intersects at a temperature point, and the size of this temperature point can be changed by modifying the proportional relationship between Rtrim and R1.
