Description

Low temperature coefficient reference current source circuit
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of analog circuits in integrated circuits, in particular to a reference current source circuit with a low temperature coefficient.
Background
Reference current sources have found wide application in analog and mixed signal integrated circuits. It provides a high precision, high stability reference current for a/D converters, sensor interfaces and many other signal processing systems. The key principle of the reference current source circuit is to provide an output from a weighted sum of two voltages or currents, one with a positive temperature coefficient Proportional To Absolute Temperature (PTAT) and the other with a negative temperature coefficient, commonly referred to as Complementary To Absolute Temperature (CTAT). By properly adjusting the weights, the derivative of the output with respect to temperature can be forced to disappear at the inflection point Temperature (TINF), suppressing the variation of the reference voltage due to the temperature variation to some extent.
The reference source circuit is one of the most important basic modules in the integrated circuit; it can not only provide static working points for each module of the chip, but also provide reference voltage and reference current in various digital-analog systems. The reference current source with high precision has very important influence on the performance of the chip, and one of the most important factors influencing the precision of the reference current source is temperature. The conventional temperature ranges from-20 ℃ to 100 ℃, but with the increase of the power consumption of the device and the change of the ambient temperature, in fact, the temperature ranges from-40 ℃ to 125 ℃ from the practical working environment.
The traditional reference current source only utilizes the negative temperature characteristic of PN junction voltage V BE to act on a resistor to generate current with negative temperature characteristic, and the positive temperature coefficient of the voltage difference DeltaV BE of two PN junctions under different current densities acts on the resistor to generate current with positive temperature characteristic to compensate each other, so that the output current has lower temperature coefficient, the change of the reference current source caused by temperature change is restrained to a certain extent, but only a first-order reference current source can be generated in the mode, therefore, in the actual working environment, the reference current source in the prior art can not enable the reference current to be effectively compensated with high-order temperature, and the requirement of a high-precision analog circuit and a digital-analog hybrid circuit on the reference current can not be met.
