Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a bandgap reference circuit, and in particular to a high-performance bandgap reference circuit applied to a CMOS image sensor. Background Art

[0002] In the readout circuit of a CMOS image sensor, the bandgap reference circuit is an important component of its internal analog-to-digital converter, and its accuracy determines the output accuracy of the CMOS image sensor. In order to ensure the output accuracy of the CMOS image sensor, the voltage or current output by the bandgap reference circuit needs to maintain high accuracy and strong stability.

[0003] The existing bandgap reference circuits are divided into voltage-mode bandgap reference circuits and current-mode bandgap reference circuits. Since the traditional voltage-mode bandgap reference circuit can only generate a reference voltage output close to 1.2V, the current-mode bandgap reference circuit can generate a reference voltage of any value between the power supply and the ground, and can output a positive temperature coefficient current or a negative temperature coefficient current, which is more functional than the voltage-mode bandgap reference circuit. However, the existing bandgap reference circuit has a nonlinear dependence between temperature and the voltage difference between the base and emitter of the transistor. The output reference voltage has a convex or concave relationship with the operating temperature, and the output reference voltage has a large temperature drift. In addition, the deviation of the process angle and the matching of the circuit components will also deteriorate the temperature variation characteristics of the reference voltage, which ultimately leads to low accuracy and robustness.

[0004] Currently, compensating the bandgap reference output voltage temperature coefficient is the key to improving the performance of the bandgap reference circuit. There are two main traditional bandgap reference temperature compensation schemes: adding an on-chip temperature coefficient adjustment circuit based on fuse trimming or an on-chip temperature coefficient adjustment circuit based on laser trimming to the bandgap reference circuit. However, the structures of these two schemes will make the bandgap reference circuit more complicated, the layout area will increase significantly, and they can often only improve the first-order and second-order terms in the nonlinear dependency relationship, which is single and affected by the deviation of the process angle, and the compensation effect is not obvious.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the advantages that a bandgap reference circuit is formed by a startup circuit, a negative temperature coefficient current generating circuit, a positive temperature coefficient current generating circuit, a reference voltage generating circuit and a temperature coefficient compensation circuit. The startup circuit provides a startup current for the positive temperature coefficient current generating circuit, so that the positive temperature coefficient current generating circuit starts normally. The positive temperature coefficient current generating circuit utilizes the voltage difference ΔV between two transistors with different current densities therein. BE A positive temperature coefficient current is generated and output to a reference voltage generating circuit. A negative temperature coefficient current generating circuit generates a negative temperature coefficient current by using the voltage difference between the base and emitter of a single transistor in the positive temperature coefficient current generating circuit, and outputs it to the reference voltage generating circuit. The first-order terms of the coefficients of the negative temperature coefficient current and the positive temperature coefficient current are equal in magnitude, but opposite in sign. The reference voltage generating circuit generates a reference voltage output that is independent of the first order of the temperature coefficient by superimposing the positive temperature coefficient current and the negative temperature coefficient current and passing them through its internal resistance. The temperature coefficient compensation circuit compensates the positive temperature coefficient current or the negative temperature coefficient current by multi-segment curvature compensation within a preset operating temperature range. The flow provides high-order temperature compensation, corrects the temperature coefficient of the reference voltage output by the reference voltage generating circuit, and makes the reference voltage output by the reference voltage generating circuit adjustable. The temperature coefficient compensation circuit can be integrated in the chip. Compared with adding an on-chip temperature coefficient adjustment circuit based on fuse adjustment or laser adjustment, the structure is simpler and the layout area is small. The temperature coefficient compensation circuit uses a multi-segment curvature compensation method introduced in different temperature ranges to weaken the influence of the output reference voltage and the temperature-related high-order terms, thereby improving the reference voltage's resistance to temperature changes. Therefore, while having the function of adjustable reference voltage, the present invention has a simple structure, a small layout area, high precision, and strong robustness.

The gate and drain of the S tube M11, the drain of the twelfth MOS tube M12, and the drain of the thirteenth MOS tube M13 are connected; the drain of the tenth MOS tube M10 is connected to the drain of the sixteenth MOS tube M16, and the connection end thereof is the compensation current output end of the temperature coefficient compensation circuit; the gate of the twelfth MOS tube M12 is connected to the gate of the twenty-first MOS tube M21, and the connection end thereof is the negative temperature coefficient current input end of the temperature coefficient compensation circuit; the source of the thirteenth MOS tube M13, the source of the fourteenth MOS tube M14, the source of the nineteenth MOS tube M19, and the source of the twentieth MOS tube M20 are connected, and the connection end thereof is the temperature coefficient compensation circuit.

[0027] Since the voltage difference between the base and the emitter of the transistor is generally about 0.7V, when the power supply voltage VDD connected to the power supply end of the startup circuit is 3.3V or above, the first MOS tube M1 is connected in a diode form, which can reduce the static power consumption of the startup circuit. During the power-on process of the bandgap reference circuit, if the bandgap reference is not started, the second MOS tube M2 pulls up the gate of the fourth MOS tube M4, and pulls down the positive temperature coefficient current output end of the positive temperature coefficient current generating circuit, so as to ensure the normal establishment of the bandgap reference; the width-to-length ratio of the third MOS tube M3 is set to be much larger than the width-to-length ratio of the second MOS tube M2, that is, the driving capability of the second MOS tube M2 is smaller, so as to ensure that the fourth MOS tube M4 can be turned off after the power supply voltage VDD is powered on and the bandgap reference circuit works normally.

[0028] The positive temperature coefficient current generating circuit adopts the folded common source and common gate structure of the P-type input pair tube, and uses the virtual short and virtual break characteristics of the first operational amplifier AMP1 to clamp the voltage of its positive input terminal and reverse input terminal, so that the positive input terminal and reverse input terminal of the first operational amplifier AMP1 are connected in the positive temperature coefficient current generating circuit loop to meet the positive feedback less than the negative feedback. The positive temperature coefficient current generating circuit uses the difference ΔV between the base and emitter voltage of the first transistor and the second transistor. BE The ratio of the resistance value of the first resistor R1 generates a positive temperature coefficient current. The first capacitor C1 pushes the main pole of the entire loop of the positive temperature coefficient current generating circuit to a lower frequency, thereby improving the stability of the bandgap reference circuit.

[0029] The negative temperature coefficient current generating circuit utilizes the virtual short and virtual open characteristics of the second operational amplifier AMP2 to clamp the voltages of its positive input terminal and reverse input terminal. The connection method of the positive input terminal and reverse input terminal of the second operational amplifier AMP2 satisfies the positive feedback being less than the negative feedback in the positive temperature coefficient current generating circuit loop. The negative temperature coefficient current generating circuit utilizes the ratio of the voltage difference between the base and the emitter of the second transistor and the resistance value of the second resistor R2 to generate a negative temperature coefficient current. The second capacitor C2 pushes the main pole of the entire loop of the negative temperature coefficient current generating circuit to a lower frequency, thereby improving the stability of the bandgap reference circuit.

[0030] The reference voltage generating circuit obtains a reference voltage VREF that is independent of the temperature first-order coefficient by adjusting the positive temperature coefficient current and the negative temperature coefficient current respectively and superimposing them to flow through the third resistor R3. The calculation formula of the reference voltage before the temperature coefficient compensation circuit performs temperature coefficient compensation (i.e., correction) is:

[0031]

[0032] In formula (1), R1 is the resistance of the first resistor R1, R2 is the resistance of the second resistor R2, R3 is the resistance of the third resistor R3, VBE2 is the voltage difference between the base and the emitter of the second transistor, and VBE1 is the voltage difference between the base and the emitter of the first transistor.

[0033] In the temperature coefficient compensation circuit of the present embodiment, the tenth MOS tube M10, the eleventh MOS tube M11, the twelfth MOS tube M12, the thirteenth MOS tube M13, the fourteenth MOS tube M14 and the fifteenth MOS tube M15 constitute a positive temperature coefficient compensation circuit, and the sixteenth MOS tube M16, the seventeenth MOS tube M17, the eighteenth MOS tube M18, the nineteenth MOS tube M19, the twentieth MOS tube M20 and the twenty-first MOS tube M21 constitute a negative temperature coefficient compensation circuit. Two compensation currents (positive temperature coefficient compensation current and negative temperature coefficient compensation current) are injected into the reference voltage output terminal of the bandgap reference circuit, and each compensation current is triggered by a different temperature threshold. The working principle of the positive temperature coefficient compensation circuit is as follows: the fifteenth MOS tube M15 is used as a positive temperature coefficient current source, which is copied by the thirteenth MOS tube M13 and the fourteenth MOS tube M14 as current mirrors and compared with the twelfth MOS tube M12 as a negative temperature coefficient current source. At low temperatures, the current of the thirteenth MOS tube M13 is smaller than the current of the twelfth MOS tube M12, the gates of the tenth MOS tube M10 and the eleventh MOS tube M11 are pulled high, and there is no temperature compensation effect. As the temperature rises, the current of the thirteenth MOS tube M13 is larger than the current of the twelfth MOS tube M12, the gates of the tenth MOS tube M10 and the eleventh MOS tube M11 are pulled low, and a compensation current is generated. The temperature threshold for triggering compensation can be determined by adjusting the width-to-length ratio of the twelfth MOS tube M12, the thirteenth MOS tube M13, the fourteenth MOS tube M14 and the fifteenth MOS tube M15. Adjusting the width-to-length ratio of the tenth MOS tube M10 and the eleventh MOS tube M11 can change the size of the injected compensation current and the slope that changes with temperature. The working principle of the negative temperature coefficient compensation circuit is as follows: the twenty-first MOS tube M21 as a negative temperature coefficient current source is copied through the nineteenth MOS tube M19 and the twentieth MOS tube M20 as current mirrors and compared with the eighteenth MOS tube M18 as a positive temperature coefficient current source. At high temperature, the current of the nineteenth MOS tube M19 is smaller than the current of the eighteenth MOS tube M18, the gates of the sixteenth MOS tube M16 and the seventeenth MOS tube M17 are pulled high, and there is no temperature compensation effect; as the temperature decreases, the current of the nineteenth MOS tube M19 is larger than the current of the eighteenth MOS tube M18, the gates of the sixteenth MOS tube M16 and the seventeenth MOS tube M17 are pulled low, and a compensation current is generated. The temperature threshold for triggering compensation can be determined by adjusting the width-to-length ratio of the eighteenth MOS tube M18, the nineteenth MOS tube M19, the twentieth MOS tube M20 and the twenty-first MOS tube M21. The width-to-length ratio of the sixteenth MOS tube M16 and the seventeenth MOS tube M17 can be adjusted to change the size of the injected compensation current and the slope changing with temperature.

[0034] The curve comparison of the high performance bandgap reference circuit applied to CMOS image sensor of the present invention before and after the introduction of temperature coefficient compensation circuit with temperature change is shown in the figure below: Figure 3 As shown, analysis Figure 3 It can be seen that: after the temperature coefficient compensation circuit is introduced, the temperature coefficient compensation circuit injects two compensation currents triggered by different temperature thresholds into the reference voltage output end of the reference voltage generating circuit, and divides the reference voltage output from the reference voltage output end into three convex curves instead of the original single-segment convex curve, thereby reducing the variation of the reference voltage in a wide temperature range and improving its accuracy and robustness.
