A kind of bandgap voltage reference start-up circuit and CMOS bandgap voltage reference
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of bandgap voltage reference, more particularly, relate to that a kind of circuit is simple, bandgap voltage reference start-up circuit and the CMOS bandgap voltage reference of low-power consumption.
Background technology
Bandgap voltage reference is a very important modular circuit in the mimic channel.Because band-gap reference is the technology of a kind of hardly temperature dependent and power supply, so it can provide accurate, stable reference voltage for analog circuitry system.But in the specific design bandgap voltage reference, except its performance parameter index of detailed consideration, also must consider the starting problem when it powers on.This is because bandgap voltage reference has two possible equilibrium points, even may have a plurality of equilibrium points in some complicated circuit are realized.In the time of for fear of power supply electrifying, wrong equilibrium point can be selected, a start-up circuit must be increased.
The present in the industry CMOS bandgap voltage reference of commonplace employing, its circuit framework figure as shown in Figure 1.This CMOS band gap reference voltage source circuit comprises two branch roads and operational amplifier A 1 that is comprised of respectively triode Q2, resistance R 3 and triode Q1, resistance R 1, R2.Wherein the launch site of triode Q1 and triode Q2-base area is 8: 1 than generally.
According to the application request of bandgap voltage reference, the operational amplifier A 1 general employing right two-stage calculation amplifier structure of P pipe input shown in Figure 2 among Fig. 1.
Among Fig. 2, the common source amplifier stage that transistor M6 and transistor M7 form has consisted of the second level of this operational amplifier, and wherein the transistor M7 as current source is the load pipe, and transistor M6 is amplifier tube.When power supply just powers on, two input end (V of operational amplifier A 1
+, V
-) all be floating empty, work as V
+Compare V
-When voltage was low, node V2 will be higher than the voltage of predetermined stable state, and that just might so that can all flow on the transistor M6 as all circuit I 7 of the transistor M7 of current source, namely be: I7=I6, Iout=0.Simultaneously the voltage of Vout is very low, and general scope may be about tens millivolts to three, 400 millivolts, and can be lower than the conducting valve threshold voltage of the Vbe among triode Q1 and the Q2, and triode Q1 and Q2 just are in the shutoff cut-off state so, do not have electric current to flow through.Therefore, just cause this bandgap voltage reference unreliable, can not safety normal startup, thereby cause other partial circuits to design unsuccessfully.
But in actual applications, solve above-mentioned bandgap voltage reference starting problem solution relatively more commonly used as shown in Figure 3.Its general plotting namely increases the circuit of a comparator C MP on the basis of Fig. 1, the output VREF of reference source and the Vbe3 of triode Q3 are compared, if reference source is normal the startup not, the voltage of VREF then is lower than the Vbe3 voltage of conducting so, and the output VOUT of comparator C MP is low level, and at this moment transistor MS2 will conducting, there is electric current to flow into VREF, VREF is charged, and when VREF was elevated to certain voltage, triode Q1 and Q2 will conductings.At this moment, operational amplifier A 1 can normally be set up gradually, the equilibrium point when its working point can be tending towards stable state, and simultaneously, when VREF voltage is raised to when higher than Vbe3, comparator C MP output can uprise, and turn-offs transistor MS2, stops VREF being charged.Like this, reference source just can normally start up.
Although this scheme can allow reference source normally start up, but need extra this part the circuit of comparator C MP that increases, and the hysteresis comparator preferably of the comparator C MP among Fig. 3, so just bring difficulty and risk to design, these circuit that increase simultaneously also can increase extra power consumption, and the low power capabilities index of reference source is more and more important.
Therefore, for the problems referred to above, the present invention design one stable, reliably and simply, do not need the start-up circuit of too much additive decrementation to solve the electrifying startup problem of bandgap voltage reference.
