Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a band-gap reference voltage source technology, in particular to an improved band-gap reference voltage circuit, which is characterized in that a closed loop system formed by 3 PMOS (P-channel metal oxide semiconductor) tubes and 3 NPN (negative-positive-negative) triodes and a third NPN triode are connected in a diode mode to provide base voltage for the rest NPN triodes, and the PTAT (proportional to absolute temperature) current can be generated without an additional operational amplifier, so that the cost is reduced, the power consumption is reduced, and the precision is improved.
Background
The bandgap reference voltage source is widely used due to its advantages of being not affected by power supply, temperature and process parameters, however, in low power supply voltage application, the conventional bandgap reference source (generally 1.2V) is limited, and therefore, a low voltage bandgap reference source (low voltage bandgap reference source, the low voltage is 1.2V lower than the conventional bandgap reference source) needs to be applied. However, most of the commonly used low-voltage bandgap reference voltage source structures have large power consumption and complex circuit structures. A typical low-voltage bandgap reference voltage source generates a bandgap reference voltage by combining a positive/negative temperature coefficient voltage or a positive/negative temperature coefficient current, which both require an additional operational amplifier to generate a positive temperature coefficient voltage (i.e., a positive temperature coefficient Δ V)BE). The operational amplifier forces the emitter potentials of the two PNP transistors to be the same, thereby generating the delta V with positive temperature coefficientBE. Such an operational amplifier increases system power consumption and circuit area, and the offset of the operational amplifier itself affects the accuracy of the output bandgap reference voltage. For example, the equivalent input offset voltage (Vos) of the operational amplifier is amplified by several times and appears at the output terminal (VBG, bandgap reference voltage), which affects the circuit performance. The inventor believes that if a closed loop system formed by 3 PMOS transistors and 3 NPN transistors and a third NPN transistor are connected in a diode form to provide a base voltage to the remaining NPN transistors, a PTAT current (proportional to absolute temperature) can be generated without an additional operational amplifier, thereby contributing to cost reduction, power consumption reduction, and accuracy improvement. In view of the above, the present inventors have completed the present invention.
