Abstract
A compact, accurate sub-1V low impedance, low dropout bandgap reference is presented in this paper. Firstly, a new 1Vbandgap core (corel) is introduced by the simple addition of two resistors to the generic core. Using this concept, an improved version (core 2) is presented to generate a sub-1V(0.9V in the design example) bandgap reference that can be set from a bit above Vbe, up to the normal bandgap voltage. Both cores are in low dropout and low output impedance configurations. The circuit idea is realized in 90nm BiCMOS technology. Simulation results show that over a 200oC temperature range, core 1 can achieve 20ppm over line and load regulation. Core 2 can achieve 15ppm over line and load regulation. Both cores can be realized in a CMOS process using parasitic PNP devices.
