Being different from traditional techniques, this idea focuses on finding multiple temperatures in the whole range at which the first order derivatives of the output reference voltage equal zero. In this way, the curve of the output reference voltage is flattened and a better effect of curvature compensation is achieved. The circuitry is simulated in ST Microelectronics 0. 18μm CMOS technology, and the simulated result shows that the average temperature coefficient is only 1ppm/℃ in the range from - 40 to 125℃.展开更多

Generally, CVTs are classified as belt-type or toroidal CVTs, and each CVT is basically composed of two parts such as the V-belt and pulley, or friction wheels. In the belt-type CVT, the pulley is driven by a belt placed between two (left and right) circle boards, while in the toroidal CVT, two rollers rotate under the condition being pushed by strong compression power. Since these conventional CVTs use friction force, their energy transfer efficiency might be inferior. Furthermore, although these CVTs require precise structures and processing, they make noise, and are not durable. Consequently, we propose a new structural CVT in this paper.展开更多

It features employing a temperature-dependent resistor ratio technique to get a piecewise corrected current, which corrects the nonlinear temperature dependence of the first-order BGR. The piecewise corrected current generator also forms negative feedback to improve the line regulation and power supply rejection (PSR). Measurement results show the proposed BGR achieves a maximum temperature coefficient (TC) of 21.2ppm/℃ without trimming in the temperature range of - 50-125℃ and a PSR of - 60dB at 2.6V supply voltage. The line regulation is 0.8mV/V in the supply range of 2.6-5.6V. It is successfully implemented in an SMIC 0.35μm 5V n-well digital CMOS process with the effective chip area of 0.04mm^2 and power con- sumption of 0.18mW. The reference is applied in a 3,5V optical receiver trans-impedance amplifier.展开更多
