Abstract

We propose a voltage reference based on the weighted difference between the gate-source voltages of an nMOS and a pMOS operating in their saturation regions. No diodes or parasitic bipolar transistors are used. The circuit is simulated and fabricated with SMIC 0.18 μm mixed-signal technology, and our measurements demonstrate that its temperature coefficient is 44 ppm/°C and its PSRR is -46 dB. It works well when Vdd is above 650 mV. The active area of the circuit is about 0.05 mm2.
