Abstract
A bandgap reference circuit employing subthreshold current is proposed. Only a small fraction of VBE is utilized to generate the reference voltage of 170 mV. Since the subthreshold current of MOSFET is used as the current source, the circuit only consumes 2.4 μW at supply voltage of 1V. It was fabricated using 0.18 μm CMOS triple-well technology on chip area of 0.029 mm2. Both the measurement and the simulation demonstrate the reference voltage variation is 1.3mV from -20°C to 100°C and is 1.1mV per volt for supply voltage from 0.95V to 2.5V.
