Laser trimming can be used to optimize the performance of bandgap voltage references, but it is a costly procedure. As a result, layouts on both BJTs and resistors should be well planned and designed so that consistent performance can be maintained with minimum need of trimming in mass productions. Better matching can be achieved by a common-centroid layout [6], [7]. In Fig. 4(a), there shows two matched BJTs in a ratio of 1:8 as shown. In the figure, N = 8 is chosen and all BJTs are placed closely. N, in fact, can be 24, 48 or even 80 as these integers can be used to obtain common-centroid structures. However, a large value of N is not preferred as the separation of devices increases, and this will introduce more errors. Moreover, as shown in (l), there is no significant increase on the ln(w fimction when N increases.. l# k3 C% w5 ~

最後,我曾和製程工程師以及一些資深電路設計者談過,在CMOS製程裡作出BJT,那是一種近似的BJT,而在Bandgap circuit中,我們要用的是BJT對溫度的變化,而不是BJT的電流特性,故而在設計Bandgap circuit中,所在意的是溫度與電壓變化對於Bandgap voltage所造成的影響有多少,所以,在SPICE Model中的BJT,主要看其溫度係數變化參數而不在意其電流增益,所以,很多BJT參數是可以被忽略不計的 |
