Abstract

A design of a low voltage bandgap reference (BGR), for SOC application with high accuracy, is described and the chip layout is presented. To compensate the error caused by the current-mirror mismatch, the chopper modulator is used in the BGR to decrease the offset of the opamp. The design features a reference voltage of 0.256V∼0.768V with supply voltage range from 1 V to 1.5 V and temperature range from -20 °C to 60 °C. The maximum supply current is 4 μA and the area of layout is 0.3 × 0.4 mm² with a standard 0.25 μm 2P5M n-well CMOS process.
