The invention discloses a low-power-consumption reference source, which belongs to the technical field of
integrated circuit design and comprises a current biasing circuit and a reference
voltage generating circuit. The current bias circuit isolates fluctuation change of the
power supply voltage while reducing the
power supply voltage through a depletion type
transistor, and outputs bias current; according to the reference
voltage generation circuit, a parallel enhanced
transistor which works in a sub-threshold region and adopts a
hybrid bias mode is used as a load, and a reference
voltage which is subjected to temperature compensation, low in
power consumption and not changed along with temperature fluctuation is obtained according to a bias current. Besides, the method can be realized only through ingenious planning of body end connection on a
layout level, additional process steps and manufacturing cost are not increased, a flexible and effective compensation dimension is provided for a designer, accurate optimization can be carried out aiming at a specific process corner and a
working temperature range, and the method is suitable for large-scale production. And the practicability and the reliability of the reference
voltage source in various high-performance analog and digital-analog
hybrid integrated circuits are greatly improved.
