A low drift curvature-compensated bandgap reference with trimming resistive circuit

Abstract: A low temperature drift curvature-compensated complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) bandgap reference is proposed. A dual-differential-pair amplifier was employed to add compensation with a high-order term of TlnT (T is the thermodynamic temperature) to the traditional 1st-order compensated bandgap. To reduce the offset of the amplifier and noise of the bandgap reference, input differential metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) of large size were used in the amplifier and to keep a low quiescent current, these MOSFETs all work in weak inversion. The voltage reference’s temperature curvature has been further corrected by trimming a switched resistor network. The circuit delivers an output voltage of 3 V with a low dropout regulator (LDO). The chip was fabricated in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC)’s 0.35-μm CMOS process, and the temperature coefficient (TC) was measured to be only 2.1×106/°C over the temperature range of −40–125 °C after trimming. The power supply rejection (PSR) was −100 dB @ DC and the noise was 42 μV (rms) from 0.1 to 10 Hz.

Key words: Voltage reference, Bandgap, Temperature compensation, Low drift, Resistive trimming
