yeah but when i fabricate the chip, the resistance will vary within 20%...a 4k resistor might only have 3.2k resistance. the result wont be very accurate...i need something that can generate a very accurate bias voltage...something that only have error within 0.1%...


It depends the match of 2 resistors, if there is a kind of res with less than 1% mismatch that have the same geometrical size, that will fit your design.
And you'd better use large W the res

you can use techniques shown in allen holberg or razavi to get voltage ref higher than bg.

use Bandgap generate fixed voltage , than use LDO to generate higher voltage you want

you amp need a so accurate bias?, usually, what a amp really need is a bias current and some times a reference input voltage, if you need a bias current , you can use a bandgap, and then a current mirror is used to give the bias.

if you need a reference input voltage, and it must be large than 1.2V, you can also use a bandgap, you can read more paper, there are some circuit can give you >1.2V & <1.2V . LDO is not a choice can be choosed. LDO is not used to give a bias ,it is used to give a power supply to core chip.

if you need a bias to some other gate, maybe a rough bias is ok. you can use MOS and resistor to create it .

Normally current mirror is used to bias the opamp. The current in current mirror is often generated from bangbap with a feedback network.

You and add a buffer follow the bandgap, and generator what reference voltage you want.

What you could do is to use 1.4 V as a supply to a Nakagome charge-pump, and feed the same 1.4 V as input to the charge-pump. For instance, in the second figure, in the link
http://www.ee.iitm.ac.in/vlsi/courses/ec330_2008/exp2
Vout is twice the supply. What say?

Raghav's reply seems helpful. In fact, Nakagome charge pump is used to boost voltages in DRAM cells too. So, it should raise the band-gap voltage to any required value.

to bias a opam, a Iref from BG or orther reference is enough. When you need Vref, just dump Iref to a diode-connected MOS.

Hi
I had designed a bandgap reference... The circuit is doing absolutely fine in simulations... even the post-layouts are also fine. But the silicon shows oscillations at the output and the RMS value is also not 1.2v its way away to 1.9 volts...
any clue to debug.
thanx

maybe you can add a cap. at vdd and output.

using a charge pump would be the easiest but you would have to take care of the ripple by using a filter

I tried that but how much can you cut down through that... the ripples are full fledged oscillations of 1v peak to peak!!!

Post01 Apr 2008 7:57   Re: Bandgap Reference

why not you use the resistor to divide the supply if you don't need a precise voltage.
but if you want to get a precise voltage, you can use a negtive feedback with a opamp.

But usually we don't need a very precise voltage bias. because it is differential pair as the input.

I think the problem is the accuracy of the voltage bias. Do you really need the 0.1% accuracy ? If that ,you can use a kind of bandgap which can generate all values of voltage, in theory, not boter to use LDO,that is pretty a big wast.

you can use a opamp as a voltage follower, and a DAC which tuning up the 1.4V and VDD

If u got a supply >2V & a bias current then couple of diode connected mosfet in series is good enough to generate 1.4V .I am assuming bias current is available and not a good idea to build regulator to bias .
