Abstract:
The present invention discloses a bandgap reference circuit. The bandgap reference circuit includes an operational transconductance amplifier, and a reference generation circuit. The operational transconductance amplifier includes a self-biased operational transconductance amplifier, for utilizing an area difference between bipolar junction transistors of an input pair to generate a first positive temperature coefficient current to bias the input pair, and generating a positive temperature coefficient control voltage and a negative temperature coefficient control voltage; and a feedback voltage amplifier, for amplifying the negative temperature coefficient control voltage, and outputting a reference voltage to the input pair for feedback, to generate a first negative temperature coefficient current. The reference generation circuit generates a summation voltage or a summation current according to the positive temperature coefficient control voltage and the negative temperature coefficient control voltage.
