A High Accuracy and Configurable Voltage (1.2/1.8/2.5/3.3V) Bandgap
Reference with Base Current Compensation for DC-DC Converters
Abstract
Presented is an improved bandgap reference, which has the performance of
high accuracy and can generate the required voltage reference. In this
bandgap reference, the improved base current compensation is proposed to
eliminate the effect of the base current. Meanwhile, a high reference
voltage generator is used to provide configurable output voltages of
1.2/1.8/2.5/3.3V needed by DC-DC converters. The bandgap reference is
realized in a standard 180nm CMOS process with an area of 0.05 mm×mm.
Among the 5 sample chips of the reference, in the temperature range of
-40 oC to 125 oC, the temperature coefficients of all the reference
voltages range from 3 ppm/oC to 38 ppm/oC. The best average value of
temperature coefficients is 6.03 ppm/oC when the reference voltage is
2.5V. The best line sensitivities (LS) is 0.23%/V when the reference
voltage is 1.8V with the power consumption of 150μW@VDD=5V;
