Abstract:
The invention relates to a bandgap reference source with extremely low power consumption and a wide temperature range, belonging to the field of design of an analog integrated circuit. The reference source comprises a starting circuit, a reference voltage generating circuit, a reference voltage output circuit and a voltage buffer, wherein the starting circuit is connected with the reference voltage generating circuit; the reference voltage generating circuit is connected with the reference voltage output circuit; the reference voltage output circuit is connected to the buffer; the starting circuit is used for ensuring that a circuit can be separated from a non-ideal working point in the starting process and enters a normal working point and ensuring that the circuit can be prevented from being deviated from the normal working point when a power supply voltage is interfered; the reference voltage generating circuit is used for providing bias current for the circuit and generating a reference voltage which is independent of the ground; and the reference voltage output circuit is used for outputting a reference voltage relevant to an electric potential. According to the bandgap reference source, a low reference voltage temperature coefficient can be realized under the condition of extremely low power consumption and wide temperature range, and the process sensitivity is very low.
