Abstract :
The base resistance is often the primary limitation factor for the accuracy in translinear circuits. A general compensation technique for the extrinsic base resistance and the emitter series resistance is presented in this paper. The applications discussed include proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) temperature sensors and bandgap references
