  • Patent number: 8004266
    Abstract: A chopper stabilized bandgap voltage reference circuit comprises current mirror circuitry mirroring first and second currents into first and second networks to generate a forward diode voltage signal and a PTAT (proportional to absolute temperature) component signal, and a third current having a derived temperature coefficient into a third network to generate a reference voltage signal for a regulator. An amplifier amplifies a differential signal of the forward diode voltage signal and the PTAT component signal to output a fourth current to control the first and second currents. According to a chopper clock, a modulator modulates the differential signal to be supplied to the amplifier and a demodulator demodulates the fourth current. A gain loop compensation circuit is coupled to the demodulator to compensate the amplifier, and filter the fourth current for noise components, and a bypass circuit is also provided to the third network for filtering the third current.
