A novel current reference in 45nm cmos technology

In this paper a novel CMOS temperature and supply voltage independent current reference has been proposed. This design is based on subtraction of two scaled version PTAT (proportional to temperature) currents to get temperature independent current reference. Implemented in 45nm CMOS technology and simulated with Spectre. Simulation results shows that the proposed current reference achieves temperature coefficient of 22ppm/°C against temperature variation of −4O°C–120°C and line sensitivity of 337ppm/V against supply variation of 0.6–1.8V, while consuming 135uW from 1.8V supply and occupying 5184um2.

A Microwatt Low Voltage Bandgap Reference for Bio-medical Applications

In this paper a microwatt low voltage bandgap reference suitable for the bio-medical application. The Present technique relies on the principle of generating CTAT and PTAT without using any (Bipolar Junction Transistor) BJT and adding them with a proper scaling factor for minimal temperature sensitive reference voltage. Beta multiplier reference circuit has been explored to generate CTAT and PTAT. Implemented in 45nm CMOS technology and simulated with Spectre. Simulation results shows that the proposed reference circuit exhibits 1.2% variation at nominal 745mV output voltage. The circuit consumes 16uW from 0.8V supply and occupying 0.004875mm2 silicon area.
