Abstract
A voltage reference in CMOS technology is based upon transistor pairs of the same type except for the opposite doping type of their polysilicon gates. At identical drain currents, the gate voltage difference, close to the silicon bandgap, is 1.2 V/spl plusmn/0.06 V. Circuits for a positive and for a negative voltage reference are presented. Digital voltage tuning improves accuracy. Temperature compensation is provided by proper choice of current ratio or by means of an auxiliary circuit. Voltage drift is about 300 ppm//spl deg/C without compensation, and can be reduced to /spl plusmn/30 ppm//spl deg/C. The circuits work with a supply voltage of 2-10 V and draw a current that is less than 1 /spl mu/A.Keywords
