Abstract

A bandgap voltage reference in a GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor process is analysed and designed. The design provides an on-chip reference intended for use with more complex integrated circuits designed in this HBT process. Key design parameters of the HBT bandgap reference are presented and compared to a classical silicon bandgap reference. A practical operational amplifier for the reference is also presented. The prototype reference achieves a temperature coefficient of 7 ppm/°C over a temperature range of 0°C to 100°C. The voltage reference changes are measured at 0.1% with power supply voltage changes of ± 0.2 V.
