Abstract: Examples of bandgap circuits and elements thereof enable generation of an accurate and stable bandgap reference voltage that is not affected by low current gain. An example circuit includes first and second input transistors, each having an emitter to receive a tail current; first and second core transistors, a collector of each coupled to ground; a first lower leg coupled between a first upper leg and the emitter of the first core transistor at a first current input coupled to the base of the first input transistor; a second lower leg coupled between a second upper leg and the emitter of the second core transistor at a second current input coupled to the base of the second input transistor; and a base resistor coupled between the base and collector of the first core transistor. The input transistor pair has a current density ratio that is the same as that of the core transistor pair.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes first and second Hall-effect sensors. Each sensor has first and third opposite terminals and second and fourth opposite terminals. A control circuit is configured to direct a current through the first and second sensors and to measure a corresponding Hall voltage of the first and second sensors. Directing includes applying a first source voltage in a first direction between the first and third terminals of the first sensor and applying a second source voltage in a second direction between the first and third terminals of the second sensor. A third source voltage is applied in a third direction between the second and fourth terminals of the first sensor, and a fourth source voltage is applied in a fourth direction between the second and fourth terminals of the second sensor. The third direction is rotated clockwise from the first direction and the fourth direction rotated counter-clockwise from the second direction.
