Abstract:
A bandgap reference circuit includes a voltage reference circuit configured to generate a reference voltage at a first output and a proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) current source configured to generate a PTAT current reference at a second output. A divider circuit is coupled to the reference voltage and configured to generate a divided reference voltage at a third output of the bandgap reference circuit. The bandgap reference circuit further includes a tunable current source coupled to the divider circuit and configured to generate a tunable current reference at a fourth output of the bandgap reference circuit based, at least in part, on the divider circuit. A method of generating a tunable current with a bandgap circuit is also provided.
