Abstract:
An electronic circuit includes a band-gap reference circuit and a start-up circuit. The band-gap reference circuit includes an operational amplifier which has an output and first and second inputs. The band-gap reference circuit is configured to generate a predetermined reference voltage at the output of the operational amplifier after a start-up phase of the band-gap reference circuit. The start-up circuit includes at least one switch arranged to connect at least one current source to at least one of the inputs of the operational amplifier during the start-up phase, and to disconnect the at least one current source from the at least one of the inputs of the operational amplifier after the start-up phase.
