  • Patent number: 6147908
    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory circuit that includes a load circuit coupled to a band-gap reference circuit and a nonvolatile memory cell. The load line circuit is configured to provide a programming voltage to the nonvolatile memory cell. The programming voltage may be generated in response to the reference voltage generated by the band-gap reference circuit. The nonvolatile memory circuit may also include an amplifying circuit that amplifies the reference voltage of the band-gap circuit, and provides the amplified reference voltage to the load circuit. The nonvolatile memory circuit may further include a voltage trim circuit that trims the amplified reference voltage and provides the trimmed amplified reference voltage to the load circuit. The reference voltage, amplified reference voltage, and the trimmed amplified reference voltage may each output a stable voltage that is independent of variations in process parameters, operating temperatures, and supply voltages of the nonvolatile memory circuit.

  • Patent number: 5867013
    Abstract: A circuit includes a band-gap reference circuit and a start-up circuit coupled between an output and an input of the band-gap reference circuit. When the output of the band-gap reference circuit is below a start-up voltage threshold, the start-up circuit provides a first voltage at the input of the band-gap reference circuit which, in turn, causes the band-gap reference circuit to produce a desired voltage at the output. When the desired voltage has been reached, i.e., a voltage corresponding to the start-up voltage threshold, the start-up circuit turns off and does not interfere with the normal operation of the band-gap reference circuit. The start-up circuit may include first circuitry configured to produce a first voltage if a voltage signal at the output of the band-gap reference circuit is below the start-up voltage threshold.
