    Design of a Full CMOS Voltage Reference Based on High-order Curvature Compensation

    • 摘要: 针对传统的基准电压源功耗较高且精度较差的问题,基于高阶曲率补偿技术,设计了一种没有电阻和三极管的全互补金属氧化物半导体(CMOS)基准电压源。利用工作于亚阈值区的不同阈值的N型金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管(NMOS)构成堆叠结构,产生纳安量级的偏置电流和负温度系数(CTAT)电压。采用P型金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管差分对结构产生正温度系数电压,对CTAT电压进行一阶曲率补偿。同时,利用工作于截止区的NMOS产生随温度近似成指数变化的漏电流,进行高阶曲率补偿,进一步提高基准电压源的精度,且扩展电路工作的温度范围。采用TSMC N12 nm CMOS工艺进行电路的设计。仿真结果表明,设计的基准电压源能够工作在0.45 V~1.20 V的电源电压下,输出平均值为234.5 mV的基准电压。在电源电压为0.45 V、温度范围为-40 ℃~125 ℃时,基准电压的温度系数为5.7 ppm/℃;在常温下的功耗为3.7 nW,在1 kHz频率下的电源抑制比为-59.7 dB。

       

      Abstract: To address the problem of high power consumption and poor accuracy of traditional voltage reference, a full complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) voltage reference without resistors and bipolar transistors based on high-order curvature compensation technology is proposed in this paper. The N metal-oxide-semiconductor (NMOS) transistors with different threshold voltages operating in the subthreshold region are utilized to construct a stack structure, which generates the nano-ampere biased current and the complementary proportional to absolute temperature (CTAT) voltage. The proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) voltage is produced by the positive channel metal oxide semiconductor differential pairs to compensate for the first-order curvature of the CTAT voltage. Meanwhile, By utilizing NMOS operating in the cutoff region to generate leakage currents that vary exponentially with temperature, high-order curvature compensation is performed to further improve the accuracy of the voltage reference and expand the temperature range of circuit operation. The circuit is designed in TSMC N12 nm CMOS process. The simulation results show that the designed voltage reference can operate at a power supply voltage of 0.45 V~1.20 V and output an average reference voltage of 234.5 mV. When the power supply voltage is 0.45 V and the temperature range is -40 ℃~125 ℃, the temperature coefficient of the voltage reference is 5.7 ppm/℃; the power consumption at room temperature is 3.7 nW, and the power supply rejection ratio is -59.7 dB at a frequency of 1 kHz.
