[0035] Example
[0036] Please refer to Figs. 1 to 3 As shown, this invention discloses a low-power, low-temperature-drift bandgap reference voltage source, including V BE Nonlinear term compensation circuit and output voltage generation circuit, V BE The nonlinearity compensation circuit, through the cooperation of a MOSFET current mirror and a bipolar transistor, compensates for the nonlinear temperature drift of the output voltage, generating a linearized Vo. BEVoltage, the output voltage generation circuit generates a voltage proportional to absolute temperature through a differential pair structure and superimposes it with a linearized V BE Voltage to output a reference voltage.
[0037] V BE The non-linear term compensation circuit includes PMOS M P5 , PMOS M P6 , PMOS M P8 , NMOS M N9 , NMOS M N10 , NMOS M N11 and bipolar transistor Q1; the source of PMOS M P5 , PMOS M P6 is connected to the power supply, the drain of PMOS M P5 and PMOS M P6 is connected to the drain of NMOS M N9 and NMOS M N11 , respectively, to form a current mirror, the source of NMOS M N9 is connected to the ground, the drain of NMOS M N9 is connected to the drain of PMOS M P5 , the gate of NMOS M N9 is connected to an internal node of the compensation circuit, the source of NMOS M N10 is connected to the ground, the drain of NMOS M N10 is connected to the emitter of bipolar transistor Q1, the gate of NMOS M N10 is connected to the drain of NMOS M N11 , the source of NMOS M N11 is connected to the ground, the drain of NMOS M N11 is connected to the drain of PMOS M P6 , and the collector of bipolar transistor Q1 is connected to the ground, and the base of bipolar transistor Q1 is connected to V N node.
[0038] V BE The non-linear term compensation circuit is based on the V BE temperature characteristic of bipolar transistor Q1, which is not purely linear (V BE ≈V T lnI S / I C , containing a non-linear term), and the change at different temperatures will cause the reference voltage to have a non-linear temperature drift. Through a specific circuit structure and component combination, the circuit offsets this non-linear temperature drift and improves the temperature stability of the reference voltage. In this embodiment, V BE The non-linear term compensation circuit is based on the V BEThe temperature characteristic is combined with the current mirror. When the temperature changes, the V BE of the bipolar transistor Q1 changes, which causes the gate voltage of the NMOS transistor M N10 to change. The related NMOS transistors M N9 , M N10 and M N11 are adjusted by the current mirror, and the NMOS transistors M N10 and M N11 working in the sub-threshold region are stacked and output a compensation current exponentially related to the temperature to the bipolar transistor Q1 to compensate the temperature drift caused by the non-linear term of V BE .
[0039] The working process of the non-linear term compensation circuit is as follows: when the temperature rises, the V BE of the bipolar transistor Q1 (assuming PNP type, which can be adjusted to NPN type according to the design) decreases, which causes the gate voltage of the NMOS transistor M BE to decrease, and the NMOS transistors M N10 and M N10 work in the sub-threshold region to generate a compensation current exponentially changing to be injected into the bipolar transistor Q1 to offset the high-order non-linear term of V N11 . The current of the PMOS transistor M BE -PMOS transistor M P5 / NMOS transistor M P6 -NMOS transistor M N9 is adjusted by the current mirror, and a linearized V N11 voltage is output to the V BE node.

[0050] the power supply in the output voltage generation circuit passes through the PMOS transistor M P9 and a series resistor R TRIM , the resistor R2 and the resistor R3 divide a bias voltage V b to control the PMOS transistor M P10 current, in combination with V BE compensation current, under the action of multiple feedback loops, adjust the current and voltage of each node, generate a stable output reference voltage V N16 at the drain of the NMOS transistor M out , and pass through R TRIM to preliminarily coarsely adjust the output reference voltage V out .
[0051] The working process of the output voltage generation circuit is as follows: the resistor R TRIM , the resistor R2 and the resistor R3 constitute a resistor voltage dividing network to generate a temperature-dependent voltage, the PMOS transistor M P10 -PMOS transistor M P11 and the NMOS transistor M N16 -NMOS transistor M N17 constitute a differential pair, superimpose the PTAT (proportional to absolute temperature) voltage and the linearized V N node voltage V BE , pass through the NMOS transistor M N14 -NMOS transistor M N15 current mirror feedback adjustment, output a stable V N16 at the drain of the NMOS transistor M out , and R TRIM is used to coarsely adjust the value of V out .
[0052] Due to process deviation and other factors in the integrated circuit manufacturing process, even after the previous compensation and adjustment, the temperature drift coefficients of the reference voltages of different chips may still differ. The temperature drift coefficient trimming circuit adjusts the resistance voltage dividing ratio inside the circuit through an external control signal, finely adjusts the temperature drift coefficient of the output voltage, makes the reference voltage temperature drift characteristics of different chips as consistent as possible, and meets the requirements of chip consistency in high-precision application scenarios.
[0053] Therefore, the embodiment also includes a temperature drift coefficient trimming circuit for adjusting the internal resistance voltage division ratio of the circuit to finely adjust the temperature drift coefficient of the output voltage; the temperature drift coefficient trimming circuit includes switches S0, S1, S2, R TRIM1 , R TRIM2 , and R TRIM3 ; R TRIM1 , R TRIM2 , and R TRIM3 are connected in series, the lower end of R TRIM1 is connected to a V X node, and the upper end of R TRIM1 is connected to R TRIM2 , R TRIM3 in turn and then connected to a reference voltage V out , S0 is connected in parallel to R TRIM1 , S1 is connected in parallel to R TRIM2 , and S2 is connected in parallel to R TRIM3 .
[0054] The temperature drift coefficient trimming circuit controls the conduction or turn-off of S0, S1, and S2 through a digital control signal, changes the total resistance value and voltage division ratio between the V X node and the reference voltage V out , and adjusts the temperature drift coefficient of the output voltage. For example, when S0 is turned on, R TRIM1 is short-circuited, the total resistance value is reduced, and the voltage division ratio is changed, thereby adjusting the rate of change of the output voltage with temperature, i.e., the temperature drift coefficient. By reasonably setting the switch combination, the temperature drift coefficient can be accurately trimmed for different process deviations of chips, and the consistency and stability of the output reference voltage of the chip in the full temperature range can be improved.

The signal is coupled to I CP node through capacitor C1, which ensures the compensation circuit to be out of zero current state. At the moment of power-up, the power supply charges the gate of NMOS M N8 through capacitor C1, which makes NMOS M N8 conduct, and then NMOS M N7 conducts as well, forming an initial current path, which can trigger the follow-up circuit to start working. As the circuit works normally, capacitor C1 is gradually charged to a stable voltage, which makes NMOS M N8 tend to be cut off, and the right start-up circuit exits work, avoiding continuous power consumption or interfering with the normal working current path.
