Abstract: A bandgap reference circuit and method of using the same are provided. The bandgap reference circuit may provide start-up requirements at substantially any voltage and at substantially any temperature. The circuit comprises an op amp (two stages of transistors) and a network of resistors and bipolar diodes. When an artificial offset of about ?5 mV is introduced to the op amp, the op amp output will be high as soon as the power supply exceeds the transistors' threshold voltages. The op amp output supplies the resistor and diode network and brings the op amp inputs within desired regulation voltages.
