Hi,
I want to study this bandgap reference circuit. Please suggest.

1. The vbgt expression will be as follows( derivation.jpg).
2. Is it a low voltage folded bandgap reference circuit.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you. the attached paper is useful. Is it a low voltage folded bandgap reference circuit.
Is the derivation of vbgt is correct?

It should be correct assuming the resistances connected to nodes vn and vp are the same, i.e. IMP2=IMP4.

Is it a low voltage folded bandgap reference circuit.
I don't know what you mean with folded in this circuit. This is considered a "sub-bandgap voltage reference" since it is below the usual 1.25V bandgap voltage. Because of that, it can also operate at power supplies <1V (which can be considered "low voltage").
 

Thank you. I study this reference paper and see this derivation again.

The short version of expression is that you add a PTAT current to a CTAT current to get a zero to absolute temperature (ZAT) current.
PTAT comes from \[\Delta\] VEB /R1 = VT ln (n) / R1.
CTAT voltage VEB is divided by (R2 + (R4||R5) to give a CTAT current.
Both currents are added in IMP4 (ZTAT current).
IMP4 is copied into IMP6 and flows in R3 to produce a ZTAT output voltage as given by the expression you have derived.

Thanks very much for the detailed description. I study it and if needed further I will discusses.
