Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a bandgap reference start circuit, as shown in fig. 2, including: the asymmetrical input tube comparator and the switch tube NM2;
the asymmetric input tube comparator comprises: the power supply comprises a P-type MOS tube PM4, an N-time P-type MOS tube N & ltPM 4, a power supply current Is0, an N-type MOS tube NM0 and an N-type MOS tube NM1; wherein 0< -n < -1 >;

The band-gap reference starting circuit provided by the embodiment is not limited to a current mode or voltage mode structure, and can achieve the effect of accurately and smoothly starting the band-gap reference circuit while considering small area and ultra-low power consumption. The power consumption of the bandgap reference starting circuit is reduced.
Referring to fig. 2, a dotted line portion is a starting circuit portion provided in this embodiment, in which the asymmetric input tube comparator includes: PM4, n PM4, NM0, NM1 and Is0.PM4 is a P-type MOS tube, and the MOS tube refers to a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor. n PM4 is n times of P type MOS pipes, and 0 and n are formed by the layers of the cloth and the cloth 1.NM0 is N-type MOS tube. NM1 is an N-type MOS tube. The Is0 may be an ideal current source, the bias current may duplicate the reference current generating circuit, and the current may be at nA level, which Is not limited in this embodiment. The switch tube NM2 is an N-type MOS tube.
A resistor R1 is provided in the bandgap reference core circuit (bandgap core) in the right half of fig. 2. The gate terminal voltage of the PM4 is connected with the top end VBE1 of the R1; the gate terminal voltage of n × PM4 is connected to the bottom end VBE2 of R1. Wherein VBE1 refers to the voltage between the base electrode and the emitter electrode of the triode Q1; VBE2 refers to the voltage between the base and emitter of transistor Q2. Wherein R1 denotes a common resistor.
The input pair transistors PM4, n × PM4 of the comparators must be designed asymmetrically, i.e. must be 0-n-1. The specific numerical value needs to be determined according to calculation and simulation. When the bandgap core circuit is not started, the reduced voltage difference between two ends of the resistor R1 is close to 0, namely VBE1= VBE2, so that the OTA input ends are in 'virtual short', namely the voltages are equal; since the width-to-length ratio W/L of n × PM4 is smaller than the width-to-length ratio W/L of PM4, the current flowing through PM4 is larger than the current flowing through n × PM4, the drain terminal of NM1 is raised, the gate terminal voltage of NM2 is raised, NM2 is started, the gate terminal voltage VPS of a PMOS current mirror tube is pulled down, current mirrors PM0, PM1 and PM2 are started, and a bandgap core circuit is started to enter a static working point to be operated along with the current flowing through PM0, PM1 and PM 2.
When the bandgap core gradually enters a working state, VBE1 is larger than VBE2 constantly, according to a current square law formula, the current flowing through PM4 is required to be smaller than the current flowing through n PM4, the gate end of NM1 is raised, the voltage of the drain end of NM2 is reduced, NM2 is turned off, and the bandgap core circuit is not influenced any more. The bandgap circuit can be started more accurately.
The current mirror PM0, the current mirror PM1 and the current mirror PM2 are all P-type MOS tubes.
The current square law equation is:
in the above formula, I 0 Represents the current; k represents a heat transfer coefficient K value;represents the width-to-length ratio; v gs Representing the gate-source voltage; v th Representing the threshold voltage.
Through calculation:
VS represents the source voltage of PM 4;
the calculation can effectively determine the size of n in n x PM 4.
Further, for more accurate determination of n-value, the difference between VEB1 and VBE2 was simulated at different pvt (process corner, voltage, temperature)To determine the size of n.
Referring to fig. 3, for better start-up, the overshoot phenomenon of vref voltage in the bandgap reference core circuit during start-up is reduced, NM3 transistor is added on the basis of fig. 2, and the current flowing through NM2 can be limited or slowed down by appropriate size adjustment, so as to reduce the overshoot generated by vref voltage during start-up. The NM3 tube is an N-type MOS tube NM3; NM3 access is on NM2 connection path with PM4 and NM 1.
The bandgap reference start-up circuit provided by this embodiment skillfully utilizes the characteristics of the comparator with the asymmetric input tube structure, and the comparator with the asymmetric input tube structure is used to form the start-up circuit, so that the start-up circuit of the bandgap reference circuit is started up more accurately. The problem of difficulty in starting a current mode circuit of the band-gap reference circuit is solved. When the band-gap reference circuit is not started, the starting circuit works to start the band-gap reference circuit; after the band-gap reference circuit is started, the starting circuit can close the starting circuit, and the work of the band-gap reference circuit is not influenced. The band-gap reference circuit is compatible with enough small area and ultra-low static power consumption, and can achieve more accurate starting effect than the prior art.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
