A sub-bandgap reference circuit yielding a reference voltage smaller than the bandgap voltage of silicon. The circuit generates a negative temperature coefficient signal Vbe and an opposite
The circuit generates a sub-bandgap voltage of silicon. The sub-BGR is fabricated with 65-nm standard CMOS process with an area of 400 mu m x 80 mu m. Experimental results demonstrate that this sub-BGR circuit can generate a 202.8 mV reference voltage with a power consumption of 68 nW....
The resulting value of Vref will be near the bandgap voltage of silicon at 0° K., thus the name “bandgap circuit.” However, Vbe for a bipolar transistor operating at constant current has a slight bow over temperature. The net result is that a plot of bandgap voltage Vref against ...
