Abstract

In this paper, we present 3 novel methods for generating voltage references. The first architecture focuses on low voltage high precision voltage reference reducing the variation to 5mV from 105mV across temperature of -40 to 100degC. The second architecture focuses on low voltage low power reference bringing down current consumption to half. The third one is a hybrid architecture with lesser voltage reference variation and lesser power consumption but has higher operational voltage.
