Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of integrated circuit design, and more particularly to a bandgap reference circuit with configurable curvature compensation current. Background Technology

[0002] A bandgap reference circuit (BGR) is a core module in analog integrated circuits that provides a stable, temperature-independent reference voltage (typically 1.2V~1.25V, close to the silicon bandgap voltage). It is widely used in power management, data converters, sensors, and other systems. Its basic principle is to use a reference voltage with a positive temperature coefficient (PTC), such as the base-emitter voltage V0 of a bipolar transistor. BE ) and negative temperature coefficient (NTC, such as thermal voltage V) T The voltage components (a linear combination of kT / q) are added together to achieve a zero-temperature-drift reference output across the entire temperature range.

[0003] While traditional bandgap reference circuits can achieve low temperature drift (e.g., ±10ppm / ℃) in the medium-low temperature range (e.g., -40℃ to 85℃), they exhibit significant curvature effects in the high-temperature range (e.g., 125℃ and above) or ultra-low temperature range (e.g., -40℃). This means the second derivative of the temperature coefficient is not zero, leading to a non-linear deviation in the output voltage with temperature (typically ±30~50ppm / ℃). The curvature distortion of the bandgap output voltage mainly originates from the base-emitter voltage Vo of the bipolar transistor. BE The temperature coefficient includes not only a linear term for temperature (approximately -2 mV / ℃), but also a quadratic term (proportional to the square of the temperature), and the quadratic term has a significant impact on V under high-temperature conditions. BE The impact is more significant; in actual manufacturing, deviations in parameters such as the emitter area ratio and base resistance of transistors will further amplify higher-order temperature effects; existing solutions (such as linear superposition of first-order PTC / NTC and simple exponential compensation) can only eliminate the first-order temperature coefficient and cannot effectively suppress the effects of second-order and higher-order temperatures.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a structure that can accurately compensate for the curvature distortion of the bandgap reference circuit and achieve ultra-low temperature drift (e.g., within ±1ppm / ℃) across the entire temperature range (especially at extreme temperature points).

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, without considering curvature compensation, we have:

[0035]

[0036]

[0037]

[0038]

[0039] From the above formula, we can obtain:

[0040]

[0041]

[0042] in, This is the base-emitter voltage of the second PNP bipolar transistor Q2. This is the base-emitter voltage of the first PNP bipolar transistor Q1. This is the base-emitter current of the first PNP bipolar transistor Q1. V is the base-emitter current of the second PNP bipolar transistor Q2. c V is the voltage at the lower node of the adjustable resistor R5. a V is the negative input voltage of the operational amplifier AMP. b V is the voltage at the positive input terminal of the operational amplifier AMP. In theoretical calculations, V... a =V b According to the final formula, the VOUT output can be adjusted by changing the resistance ratio. Simulation results show that the temperature drift of the output reference voltage without curvature compensation can reach 14.7 ppm / ℃.

[0043] Considering curvature compensation, the curvature correction current Iadj is drawn from between R4 and R5 based on the VOUT level. At this time, the current through R4 increases Iadj, thus increasing the VOUT level.

[0044]

[0045] As can be seen from the above expression, a compensation voltage component Iadj is added to the original bandgap reference output voltage. Through simulation, it can be seen that the temperature drift of the output reference voltage after curvature compensation is reduced to within 1ppm / ℃, which is a significant improvement compared to the temperature drift of 14.7ppm / ℃ of the traditional bandgap reference voltage.
