Its precision is improved by the cancellation of the process variation. The reference has been successfully implemented in a Chartered 0.35μm CMOS process. The occupied chip area is 0. 022mm^2. Measurements indicate that without trimming, the average output voltage error is 6mV at room temperature compared with the simulation result. The temperature coefficient is 180ppm/℃ in the worst case in the temperature range of 0 to 100℃ ,and the line regulation is ± 1.1%. The reference is applied in an adaptive power MOSFET driver.展开更多
