i have two questions need your help.
1, i have designed a bandgap reference, the reference voltage is 1.25V, i want to use this voltage (almost PVT independent) to generate reference current, as the picture shows. the reference voltage and R are both positive temp coef, and designed to get a almost zero temp coef reference current Iref, however, the R varies very much with corner(ss or ff), and the variation can be more than 20% percent, so Iref varies also. i know, i can use a external resistor Rext replacing the internal R, but my design doesn't allow this Rext, so R is internal resistor. i want to know, how to make Iref unchanged with corner variation? besides, i want to do a trimming for internal R with a register, so i can calibrate the process deviation of R for +/-100%, but i have a question, i don't know how to monitor the process change of R, that is, i can't judge R is smller or larger than expected. about this, is there some method or advice? besides, is there any other way to generate a process independent reference current? thanks.
2, about the OSC frequency. i have to design a RC OSC based on cap charging and discharging, and the frequency of OSC output is 4MHz, tolerence is about +/-15% ~ +/-20%, i want to know, if i don't use calibration (such as current calibration), can i realize the frequency accuracy of +/-15%? as i konw, capacitor can have a process deviation more than 15%, am i right? or is there any method to ensure the 15% frequency accuracy without calibration (that is, to decrease the influence of process deviation)? i need your help.
thanks all.
