  • Abstract
    A digitally trimmable voltage reference is proposed, achieving a tight distribution of temperature coefficient and output voltage, along with pA-range current consumption for Vdd=0.5-3.0V. Using 2 temperature point digital trimming, the temperature coefficient and nominal output voltage are within 5.3-47.4ppm/°C and 175.2-176.5mV across 25 dies in 0.13μm CMOS. Non-trimmable versions are also implemented in 0.13μm and 0.18μm technologies to study process variations across multiple runs and technology portability of the design.
