Abstract

See full text

A voltage drop generator having a current source having reduced sensitivity to transistor base-emitter voltage process and temperature induced variations, is used to generate a precise voltage drop across a resistor. Transistor emitter area ratios are selected and an additional resistance is used in conjunction with the selected ratios to reduce the sensitivity (of the output voltage drop) to base-emitter voltages, to provide substantial improvement in process and temperature dependent output variations.
