Abstract
Low noise bandgap voltage references using a cascaded sum of bipolar transistor cross coupled loops. These loops are designed to provide the total PTAT voltage necessary for one and two bandgap voltage references. The PTAT voltage noise is the square root of the sum of the squares of the noise voltage of each transistor in the loops. The total noise of the reference can be much lower than approaches using two or 4 bipolar devices to get a PTAT voltage and then gaining this PTAT voltage to the required total PTAT voltage. The cross coupled loops also reject noise in the current that bias them. Alternate embodiments are disclosed.
