A 0.84-μA bandgap for high step-down DC-DC convertors with thermal compensation and protection

抄録

This paper presents a bandgap reference (BGR) circuit with high precision and low power, which is suitable for wide supply and temperature range DC-DC converters. A thermal compensation method is designed to improve output accuracy. A thermal shutdown detection (TSD) circuit is proposed to prevent overheating. It also adopts a two-channel pre-regulator, which reduces the current consumption and area while enhancing PSRR. The measured results show the temperature coefficient (TC) stands at 5.69 ppm/°C in the range of -40°C to 155°C. The typical current consumption is 0.84μA in the supply range from 3.5 to 40 V. The PSRR is -86dB at 1kHz.
