Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic circuit technology, and more particularly to a bandgap reference circuit, a ferroelectric memory, and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, in analog integrated circuits, the voltage reference magnitude is primarily dependent on temperature. This dependency is precisely defined, ensuring the reliability and consistency of the circuit under various temperature conditions. Simultaneously, this temperature-sensitive characteristic provides a reliable reference point for analog integrated circuits, thus guaranteeing the circuit's performance and stability under different temperature environments. The core design of a bandgap reference circuit lies in creating a stable reference source whose temperature changes have negligible impact. This circuit cleverly utilizes the characteristics of semiconductor devices: some devices exhibit a positive temperature coefficient as their voltage increases with temperature, while others exhibit a negative temperature coefficient as their voltage decreases. Currently, most bandgap reference circuits have non-adjustable temperature coefficients, with the output reference remaining almost unchanged within a temperature range of -40℃ to 125℃. However, because current ferroelectric memory chips gradually lose their ferroelectric properties at high temperatures, existing bandgap reference circuits cannot effectively maintain the storage performance of ferroelectric memory chips at high temperatures.

[0060] This application provides a bandgap reference circuit, which includes a startup circuit, an error amplifier circuit, a bias circuit, a mirror circuit, a temperature coefficient control circuit, and a voltage divider circuit. The startup circuit receives an external input voltage and starts the bandgap reference circuit when the input voltage exceeds a threshold voltage, generating an output current based on the input voltage. The temperature coefficient control circuit is connected to the error amplifier circuit, the bias circuit, and the mirror circuit, respectively.

The gate of the sixth PMOS transistor PM6 is connected to the drain of the fifth PMOS transistor PM5; the gate of the seventh PMOS transistor PM7 is connected to the drain of the eighth PMOS transistor PM8; the source of the sixth PMOS transistor PM6 is connected to the source of the seventh PMOS transistor PM7; the drain of the sixth PMOS transistor PM6 is connected to the drain of the third NMOS transistor, the gate of the third NMOS transistor NM3, the gate of the second NMOS transistor NM2, the gate of the fourth NMOS transistor NM4, and the gate of the fifth NMOS transistor NM5, respectively; the drain of the seventh PMOS transistor NM7 is connected to the drain of the fourth NMOS transistor NM4; the source of the third NMOS transistor NM3 is connected to the drain of the second NMOS transistor NM2; the source of the fourth NMOS transistor NM4 is connected to the drain of the fifth NMOS transistor NM5; the source of the second NMOS transistor NM2 is connected to the source of the fifth NMOS transistor NM5 and then grounded. Specifically, in this embodiment, the temperature coefficient of the sixth and seventh PMOS transistors is 0 at room temperature by using their gates as inputs; then, the positive temperature coefficient under high temperature conditions is adjusted by using the inverse ratios of the second, third, fourth, and fifth NMOS transistors.

[0064] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bias circuit includes a sixth NMOS transistor NM6; the drain of the sixth NMOS transistor NM6 is connected to the first connection point; the gate of the sixth NMOS transistor NM6 is connected to the drain of the seventh PMOS transistor PM7; and the source of the sixth NMOS transistor NM6 is grounded. In this embodiment, the bias current output by the bias circuit is controlled by the output of the error amplifier circuit.

[0065] The temperature coefficient control circuit includes a positive temperature coefficient control circuit and a negative temperature coefficient control circuit. In the embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 1As shown, the negative temperature coefficient control circuit includes a first transistor Q1; the emitter of the first transistor Q1 is connected to a voltage divider circuit; the collector and base of the first transistor Q1 are both grounded; the positive temperature coefficient control circuit includes a second resistor R2, a second transistor Q2, and a third transistor Q3; the first end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the drain of the eighth PMOS transistor PM8 and the gate of the seventh PMOS transistor PM7, respectively; the second end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the emitter of the second transistor Q2; the base and collector of the second transistor Q2 are both grounded; the emitter of the third transistor Q3 is connected to the gate of the sixth NMOS transistor NM6; the base and collector of the third transistor Q3 are both grounded. Specifically, in this embodiment, by setting the first transistor as a negative temperature coefficient transistor, setting the second and third transistors as positive temperature coefficient transistors, and controlling the positive temperature coefficient ratio through the second resistor, the bandgap reference circuit can output a reference current that conforms to the ferroelectric memory at the current operating temperature.

[0066] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the voltage divider circuit includes a third resistor R3 and a fourth resistor R4; the first terminal of the third resistor R3 is connected to the drain of the eleventh PMOS transistor PM11; the connection point between the second terminal of the third resistor R3 and the first terminal of the fourth resistor R4 outputs a reference current; the second terminal of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the collector of the first transistor Q1. In this embodiment, by setting up the voltage divider circuit, the voltage corresponding to a specific temperature coefficient can be output by adjusting the resistor ratio in the voltage divider circuit.

[0067] And, as Figure 1 As shown, the bandgap reference circuit in this embodiment of the application further includes a first resistor R1. The first end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the drain of the twelfth PMOS transistor PM12, thereby preventing the capacitor C1 in the circuit from being damaged during startup, and thus improving the circuit's operating life.

[0068] In summary, the bandgap reference circuit provided in this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0069] First, the output voltage exhibits different temperature coefficients in different temperature ranges, thus eliminating the need for two reference circuits with different temperature coefficients, effectively reducing circuit area and cost.

[0070] Secondly, by selecting a specific size load RC, the output anti-interference capability can maintain a psrr of over 45 even below 1GHz, demonstrating ultra-high anti-interference capability.

[0071] Third, conventional bandgap reference circuits directly control the PMOS gate voltage with their op-amp output to regulate current, which cannot finely adjust the current magnitude at different temperatures. In this application, the op-amp output controls the NMOS gate, and the current is then regulated via a current mirror. Under high-temperature conditions, the operating state of the fifth NMOS transistor changes, and the current surge strengthens the positive temperature coefficient, achieving a zero temperature coefficient at room temperature and a positive temperature coefficient at high temperatures.

[0072] Fourth, existing bandgap circuits use three bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) to output a zero-temperature coefficient current, which is then mirrored to the fourth branch. This application achieves the same effect without the fourth branch, effectively reducing the circuit area.
