Abstract

A low temperature coefficient (TC) CMOS voltage reference generator suitable for low temperature is proposed. It exploits temperature mutual compensation relationship between threshold voltage and thermal voltage, and provides a mean reference voltage of 692 mV. A proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) current containing the thermal voltage which has a positive TC is generated, and then it is injected into a diode-connected NMOS transistor that supply the threshold voltage which has a negative TC. The mixing of the two voltages produces a reference voltage with zero TC. The proposed circuit is implemented with SMIC CMOS 0.18 um process technology. The simulation results show that the power consumption is 2.1 uW and the TC is 9.3 ppm/°C. The temperature range is from −75°C to 65°C, which indicates that the proposed circuit can be applied in low temperature environment.
