具体实施方式Detailed ways

为了让本发明的上述和其他目的、特征、和优点能更明显易懂,下文特举一较佳实施例,并配合附图,作详细说明如下:In order to make the above-mentioned and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, a preferred embodiment is specifically cited below, together with the accompanying drawings, and is described in detail as follows:

图1为显示本发明中能带隙电压参考电路的一实施例。如图所示,能带隙电压参考电路10A包括运算放大器OP、双载子晶体管(BJTs)Q1与Q2,以及电阻R1~R3。举例而言,电阻R1与R2具有相同的电阻值,而晶体管Q2的射极的面积是N倍于晶体管Q1的射极的面积,N大于1。FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a bandgap voltage reference circuit in the present invention. As shown in the figure, the bandgap voltage reference circuit 10A includes an operational amplifier OP, bipolar transistors (BJTs) Q1 and Q2 , and resistors R1 - R3 . For example, the resistors R1 and R2 have the same resistance value, and the area of the emitter of the transistor Q2 is N times the area of the emitter of the transistor Q1, where N is greater than 1.

若忽略基极电流,顺向导通的二极管的射-基极电压VEB可表示成:If the base current is neglected, the emitter-base voltage VEB of a forward-conducting diode can be expressed as:

VV EBEB == kTkT qq lnln (( II CC II SS ))

其中k为波兹曼常数(1.38×10-23J/K),q为电荷电量(1.6×10-29C),T为温度,IC为集极电流,而IS为饱和电流。Where k is Boltzmann's constant (1.38×10 -23 J/K), q is charge quantity (1.6×10 -29 C), T is temperature, I C is collector current, and I S is saturation current.

当运算放大器OP的输入电压V1与V2相互匹配且晶体管Q2的尺寸为晶体管Q1的N倍,晶体管Q1与Q2的射-基极电压差ΔVEB可表示成:When the input voltages V1 and V2 of the operational amplifier OP match each other and the size of the transistor Q2 is N times that of the transistor Q1, the emitter-base voltage difference ΔV EB between the transistors Q1 and Q2 can be expressed as:

ΔΔ VV EBEB == VV EBEB 11 -- VV EBEB 22 == kTkT qq lnln NN

其中VEB1为晶体管Q1的射-基极电压,而VEB2为晶体管Q2的射-基极电压。Where V EB1 is the emitter-base voltage of transistor Q1, and V EB2 is the emitter-base voltage of transistor Q2.

由于输入电压V1与V2因为运算放大器OP而相互匹配(虚短路),因此输入电压V1与V2可表示成:Since the input voltages V1 and V2 match each other due to the operational amplifier OP (virtual short circuit), the input voltages V1 and V2 can be expressed as:

V1=V2=VEB1=VEB2+I2×R3V1=V2=V EB1 =V EB2 +I2×R3

II 22 ×× II 33 == VV EBEB 11 -- VV EBEB 22 == kTkT qq lnln NN

因此,通过电阻R2与R3的电流I2可表示成:Therefore, the current I2 through the resistors R2 and R3 can be expressed as:

I 2 = V T R 3 ln N , 其中温度电压(thermal voltage) V T = kT q . I 2 = V T R 3 ln N , Where temperature voltage (thermal voltage) V T = kT q .

由于电阻R1与R2具有相同的阻值而且输入电压V1与V2因为运算放大器OP而相互匹配(虚短路),因此电流I2会与电流I1相等。Since the resistors R1 and R2 have the same resistance and the input voltages V1 and V2 are matched by the operational amplifier OP (virtual short circuit), the current I2 will be equal to the current I1.

于是, I 1 = I 2 = V T R 3 ln N , 并且由于温度电压VT具有0.085mV/℃的正温度系数,所以电流I1与I2也具有正温度系数。then, I 1 = I 2 = V T R 3 ln N , And because the temperature voltage V T has a positive temperature coefficient of 0.085mV/°C, the currents I1 and I2 also have a positive temperature coefficient.

因此,电压Vbg也可表示成:Therefore, the voltage Vbg can also be expressed as:

VbgVbg == II 22 ×× (( RR 22 ++ RR 33 )) ++ VV EBEB 22 == II 11 ×× RR 11 ++ VV EBEB 11

== RR 11 ×× VV TT RR 33 lnln NN ++ VV EBEB 11

由于晶体管的射-基极电压VEB具有-2mV/℃的负温度系数,因此若适当地选择电阻R1~R3的电阻值的比例,电流Vbg将可以具有近乎零的温度系数并且与较不受温度变化的影响。Since the emitter-base voltage V EB of the transistor has a negative temperature coefficient of -2mV/°C, if the ratio of the resistance values of the resistors R1 to R3 is properly selected, the current Vbg will have a nearly zero temperature coefficient and is less affected by Effects of temperature changes.

于某些实施例中,电阻R3是由一电阻梯来实现。图2为一电阻梯的实施例。电阻R3是耦接于电阻R2与晶体管Q2之间,且包括串联连接的N个电阻R31~R3N,以及串联连接的N个开关元件SWl~SWlA。除了电阻R31与R3N之外,每个开关元件SWl~SWlA是并联于一个对应的电阻。举例而言,开关元件SW10的两端是耦接至电阻R32的两端,开关元件SW11的两端是耦接至电阻R33的两端,依此类推。开关元件SW10~SW1N是可通过MOS晶体管来实现。In some embodiments, the resistor R3 is realized by a resistor ladder. Fig. 2 is an embodiment of a resistance ladder. The resistor R3 is coupled between the resistor R2 and the transistor Q2, and includes N resistors R31-R3N connected in series, and N switch elements SW1-SW1A connected in series. Except for the resistors R31 and R3N, each switch element SW1˜SW1A is connected in parallel with a corresponding resistor. For example, the two ends of the switch element SW10 are coupled to the two ends of the resistor R32, the two ends of the switch element SW11 are coupled to the two ends of the resistor R33, and so on. Switching elements SW10-SW1N can be realized by MOS transistors.

由于开关元件SW10~SW1A是设置于电流I2的路径中,使得非理想的开关效应(例如温度系数、finite导通电阻)会影响能带隙参考电路的参数。举例而言,当开关元件SW10导通时,电流I2会流经电阻R31、开关元件SW10与电阻R33~R3N,所以开关元件SW10上的非理想效应会影响能带隙参考电路的参数。再者,假设开关元件SW10~SW1N是由PMOS晶体管来实现,耦接电源电压的N井区也会退化能带隙参考电路的电源拒斥比(power supply rejectionratio)的效能。在取得开关元件数组(SW10~SW1M)的最佳设定值后,当考虑电源拒斥比时,这些开关元件就会由硬件线路来实现。由于开关元件与硬件线路在特性上的不同,能带隙参考电路的参数将会产生漂移。Since the switching elements SW10 - SW1A are disposed in the path of the current I2 , non-ideal switching effects (such as temperature coefficient, finite on-resistance) will affect the parameters of the bandgap reference circuit. For example, when the switch element SW10 is turned on, the current I2 will flow through the resistor R31, the switch element SW10 and the resistors R33-R3N, so the non-ideal effect on the switch element SW10 will affect the parameters of the bandgap reference circuit. Furthermore, assuming that the switching elements SW10˜SW1N are implemented by PMOS transistors, the N-well region coupled to the power supply voltage will also degrade the performance of the power supply rejection ratio of the bandgap reference circuit. After obtaining the optimum setting value of the switching element array (SW10-SW1M), these switching elements will be implemented by hardware circuits when considering the power supply rejection ratio. Due to the difference in characteristics between switching elements and hardware circuits, the parameters of the energy bandgap reference circuit will drift.

避免开关元件的有限导通电阻(finite turning on resistance)与温度系数的最好方法是将它们设置在一高阻抗路径上,并且在一个运算放大器式的能带隙电压参考电路中,高阻抗路径是存在于运算放大器的输入端上。因此,本发明还提供一种不受开关元件的有限导通电阻与温度系数影响的能带隙电压参考电路。The best way to avoid the finite turning on resistance and temperature coefficient of the switching elements is to place them on a high impedance path, and in an operational amplifier type bandgap voltage reference circuit, the high impedance path is present at the input of the operational amplifier. Therefore, the present invention also provides a bandgap voltage reference circuit that is not affected by the finite on-resistance and temperature coefficient of the switching element.

图3为能带隙电压参考电路的另一实施例。如图所示,能带隙电压参考电路20除了电阻梯22是与图1中所示的能带隙电压参考电路10A相似。能带隙电压参考电路20包括双载子晶体管Q1与Q2、运算放大器OP、电阻R1以及电阻梯22。FIG. 3 is another embodiment of a bandgap voltage reference circuit. As shown, the bandgap voltage reference circuit 20 is similar to the bandgap voltage reference circuit 10A shown in FIG. 1 except for the resistor ladder 22 . The bandgap voltage reference circuit 20 includes bipolar transistors Q1 and Q2 , an operational amplifier OP, a resistor R1 and a resistor ladder 22 .

晶体管Q1包括一射极耦接至运算放大器OP的正输入端以及耦接至接地电压GND的一基极与一集极。晶体管Q2包括一射极耦接至电阻梯22以及耦接至接地电压GND的一基极与一集极。换言之,晶体管Q1与Q2为二极管方式连接的晶体管。电阻R1耦接于运算放大器OP的正输入端与其输出端之间,电阻梯22耦接晶体管Q2的射极以及运算放大器OP的负输入端与输出端之间。The transistor Q1 includes an emitter coupled to the positive input terminal of the operational amplifier OP, a base and a collector coupled to the ground voltage GND. The transistor Q2 includes an emitter coupled to the resistor ladder 22 and a base and a collector coupled to the ground voltage GND. In other words, the transistors Q1 and Q2 are diode-connected transistors. The resistor R1 is coupled between the positive input terminal and the output terminal of the operational amplifier OP, and the resistor ladder 22 is coupled between the emitter of the transistor Q2 and the negative input terminal and the output terminal of the operational amplifier OP.

电阻梯22包括串联连接的复数电阻RX1~RXN以及复数开关元件SW21~SW22。电阻RX1耦接于运算放大器OP的输出端与节点ND20之间,电阻RX2耦接于节点ND20与节点ND21之间,依此类推,而电阻RXN耦接于节点ND2M与晶体管Q2的射极之间。每个开关元件SW20~SW2M皆具有一第一端耦接至一对应的节点,以及一第二端耦接运算放大器OP的负输入端。举例而言,开关元件SW20耦接于运算放大器OP的负输入端与节点ND20之间,开关元件SW21耦接于运算放大器OP的负输入端与节点ND21之间,依此类推。开关元件SW2M耦接于运算放大器OP的负输入端与节点ND21之间。The resistance ladder 22 includes a plurality of resistors RX1 to RXN and a plurality of switching elements SW21 to SW22 connected in series. The resistor RX1 is coupled between the output terminal of the operational amplifier OP and the node ND20, the resistor RX2 is coupled between the node ND20 and the node ND21, and so on, and the resistor RXN is coupled between the node ND2M and the emitter of the transistor Q2 . Each switch element SW20˜SW2M has a first terminal coupled to a corresponding node, and a second terminal coupled to the negative input terminal of the operational amplifier OP. For example, the switch element SW20 is coupled between the negative input terminal of the operational amplifier OP and the node ND20 , the switch element SW21 is coupled between the negative input terminal of the operational amplifier OP and the node ND21 , and so on. The switch element SW2M is coupled between the negative input terminal of the operational amplifier OP and the node ND21.

包含电阻RX1~RXN的电阻串(即电阻梯22)会具有一个固定的总电阻值,并且图1所中示电阻R2与R3可以由开关元件SW21~SW2M进行调整。举例而言,当开关元件SW20导通而开关元件SW21~SW2M截止时,电阻RX1是作为一第一等效电阻(如图1所示的电阻R2),而电阻串中剩余的电阻RX2~RXN是作为一第二等效电阻(如图1所示的电阻R3)。于另一例子中,当开关元件SW21导通而开关元件SW20与SW22~SW2M截止时,包含电阻RX1~RX2的电阻串是作为第一等效电阻(如图1所示的R2),而包含电阻RX3~RXN的电阻串是作为第二等效电阻(如图1所示的R3)。当开关元件SW22导通而开关元件SW20~SW21与SW23~SW2M截止时,包含电阻RX1~RX3的电阻串是作为第一等效电阻(如图1所示的R2),而包含电阻RX4~RXN的电阻串是作为第二等效电阻(如图1所示的R3),依此类推。通过导通开关元件中的一个,即可调整第一、第二等效电阻(如图1中所示的R2与R3)的比例。由于运算放大器OP的输入端为高阻抗,因此不会有电流通过开关元件SW21~SW2M流入运算放大器OP,电流I2只会流经电阻RX1~RXN以及晶体管Q2。The resistor string (ie, the resistor ladder 22 ) including the resistors RX1 - RXN has a fixed total resistance, and the resistors R2 and R3 shown in FIG. 1 can be adjusted by the switch elements SW21 - SW2M. For example, when the switch element SW20 is turned on and the switch elements SW21˜SW2M are turned off, the resistor RX1 acts as a first equivalent resistor (resistor R2 shown in FIG. 1 ), and the remaining resistors RX2˜RXN in the resistor string is used as a second equivalent resistor (resistor R3 shown in FIG. 1). In another example, when the switch element SW21 is turned on and the switch elements SW20 and SW22-SW2M are turned off, the resistor string including resistors RX1-RX2 is used as the first equivalent resistor (R2 shown in FIG. 1 ), and includes The resistor string of resistors RX3 - RXN is used as the second equivalent resistor (R3 as shown in FIG. 1 ). When the switch element SW22 is turned on and the switch elements SW20~SW21 and SW23~SW2M are turned off, the resistor string including resistors RX1~RX3 is used as the first equivalent resistor (R2 shown in Figure 1), and includes resistors RX4~RXN The resistor string is used as the second equivalent resistor (R3 shown in Figure 1), and so on. By turning on one of the switch elements, the ratio of the first and second equivalent resistors (R2 and R3 shown in FIG. 1 ) can be adjusted. Since the input terminal of the operational amplifier OP is high impedance, no current flows into the operational amplifier OP through the switching elements SW21 - SW2M, and the current I2 only flows through the resistors RX1 - RXN and the transistor Q2.

因此,如果能适当地选择电阻R1~R3的电阻值比例,能带隙电压参考电路20的输出电压Vbg’也会具有近似于零的温度系数并且对温度较不敏感。于某些实施例中,晶体管SW20~SW2M是由来自一外部控制装置的一组控制信号所控制,使得电阻R2~R3可以被调整,而得到想要的输出电压Vbg’。Therefore, if the ratio of the resistance values of the resistors R1-R3 can be properly selected, the output voltage Vbg' of the bandgap voltage reference circuit 20 will also have a temperature coefficient close to zero and be less sensitive to temperature. In some embodiments, the transistors SW20-SW2M are controlled by a set of control signals from an external control device, so that the resistors R2-R3 can be adjusted to obtain the desired output voltage Vbg'.

图4为能带隙电压参考电路的另一实施例。如图所示,能带隙电压参考电路30除了电阻梯24之外,是与图3中所示的能带隙电压参考电路20相似。电阻梯24耦接于运算放大器OP的输出端与接地电压GND之间,并且包括串联连接的复数电阻R41~R4Y以及复数开关元件SW30~SW3Z。电阻R41耦接于运算放大器OP的输出端与节点ND30之间,电阻R42耦接于节点ND30与节点ND31之间,依此类推,电阻R4Y耦接于节点ND3Z与接地电压GND之间。开关元件SW30~SW3Z各具有一第一端耦接至一对应的节点,以及一第二端接至一输出端。FIG. 4 is another embodiment of a bandgap voltage reference circuit. As shown, the bandgap voltage reference circuit 30 is similar to the bandgap voltage reference circuit 20 shown in FIG. 3 except for the resistor ladder 24 . The resistor ladder 24 is coupled between the output terminal of the operational amplifier OP and the ground voltage GND, and includes a plurality of resistors R41 - R4Y and a plurality of switch elements SW30 - SW3Z connected in series. The resistor R41 is coupled between the output terminal of the operational amplifier OP and the node ND30 , the resistor R42 is coupled between the node ND30 and the node ND31 , and so on, and the resistor R4Y is coupled between the node ND3Z and the ground voltage GND. Each of the switch elements SW30˜SW3Z has a first end coupled to a corresponding node, and a second end connected to an output end.

举例而言,开关SW30耦接于输出端与节点ND30之间,开关SW31耦接于输出端与节点ND31之间,依此类推,开关SW3Z耦接于输出端与节点ND3Z之间。电阻梯24是通过导通开关元件SW30~SW3Z中的一个,用以对输出电压Vbg’进行分压,使得输出电压Vbg”能低于输出电压Vbg’,以便能操作于一低电压环境中。于某些实施例中,开关元件SW30与SW3Z可由来自外部控制装置的另一阻控制信号所控制,使得输出电压Vbg”能被操作于一低电压环境中。For example, the switch SW30 is coupled between the output terminal and the node ND30 , the switch SW31 is coupled between the output terminal and the node ND31 , and so on, the switch SW3Z is coupled between the output terminal and the node ND3Z. The resistance ladder 24 divides the output voltage Vbg′ by turning on one of the switching elements SW30˜SW3Z, so that the output voltage Vbg″ can be lower than the output voltage Vbg′, so as to operate in a low voltage environment. In some embodiments, the switching elements SW30 and SW3Z can be controlled by another resistance control signal from an external control device, so that the output voltage Vbg″ can be operated in a low voltage environment.

当开关元件SW20~SW2M各具有一端耦接至运算放大器OP的一输入端(即高阻抗路径),所以不会有任何电流流经开关元件SW20~SW2M至运算放大器OP,因此开关元件SW20~SW2M(晶体管)不会影响能带隙电压参考电路的参数。由于没有电流流经开关元件(晶体管),因此,即使在考虑电源拒斥比的情况下,开关元件与硬件线路不同的特性的影响,且开关元件是于取得最佳设定值后由硬件线路取代,能带隙电压参考电路的参数将仍然不会受到影响。When the switching elements SW20-SW2M each have one end coupled to an input end of the operational amplifier OP (ie, a high-impedance path), so no current flows through the switching elements SW20-SW2M to the operational amplifier OP, so the switching elements SW20-SW2M (transistor) does not affect the parameters of the bandgap voltage reference circuit. Since no current flows through the switching element (transistor), even when considering the power rejection ratio, the influence of the characteristics of the switching element and the hardware circuit is different, and the switching element is controlled by the hardware circuit after obtaining the optimum setting value.
