摘要: A low power CMOS Voltage Reference Circuit was designed and implemented by TSMC 0.18-mu m CMOS process. The voltage reference circuit uses the V-GS difference between two MOSFETs operating in the weak-inversion region to generate the voltage with positive temperature coefficient The reference voltage can be obtained by combining the weighted V-GS difference with weak-inversion V-GS voltage, which has a negative temperature coefficient. This circuit provides a nominal reference voltage of 621 mV, a temperature coefficient of 11.5 ppm/degrees C in [-20 degrees C-120 degrees C] from a 1.5 V supply voltage. The line regulation of the reference voltage is 6 mV/V when the supply voltage is increased from 1.5 V to 3 V. The chip area is 0.132 mm(2) and dissipates 17.25 mu W at room temperature. By connecting a 0.22 mu F loading capacitor, the measured noise density at 100 Hz and 100 kHz is 0.14 mu V/root Hz and 22.2 mu V/root Hz, respectively.
