    摘要: Provided are an LDO, an MCU, a fingerprint module and a terminal device. The LDO includes: a reference voltage generating circuit and a source follower connected to the reference voltage generating circuit. The reference voltage generating circuit is used to generate a reference voltage that changes with temperature to offset a voltage change caused by a voltage between a first terminal and a second terminal of the source follower changing with time, so that an output voltage of the second terminal of the source follower does not change with temperature. The LDO omits an operational amplifier EA and a resistor divider feedback network in the prior art, which not only has a simple circuit structure, but also can achieve ultra-low power consumption.

    摘要: Techniques to generate two separate temperature independent reference voltages. The reference voltages can be generated using a chain of ΔVBE cells. A cross-quad ΔVBE-cell-based bandgap voltage reference can cancel out noise of associated current sources by forcing them to correlate. Several ΔVBE stages can be cascaded together to generate an appreciable PTAT component that can cancel the CTAT component from VBE. In some example configurations, only BJTs are used—without requiring use of an amplifier—to generate the bandgap voltages; in this way, extremely low noise voltage references can be generated. The PTAT and the CTAT voltages can be combined to generate a bandgap voltage of approximately VG0 or approximately 2VG0.

    摘要: A driver circuit includes a temperature sensor generating a first voltage representative of current operating temperature. An amplifier compares the first voltage to a second voltage representative of an upper threshold operating temperature, and generates a control signal based thereupon. A variable current source generates a load current from the control signal. The amplifier generates the control signal to cause the variable current source to generate the load current as having a magnitude equal to an upper threshold when the first voltage is less than the second voltage. The amplifier generates the control signal to cause the variable current source to generate the load current as having a magnitude that is decreasing until the first and second voltages are equal, and then generates the control signal to cause the variable current source to maintain the load current magnitude at a level at which the first and second voltages are equal.
