Superior-order Curvature-correction Techniques For Voltage References

Voltage References Represent Important Vlsi Structures, Having Multiple Appli- Tions In Analog And Mixed-signal Circuits: Measurement Equipment, Voltage Re- Lators, Temperature Sensors, Data Acquisition Systems, Memories, Or Ad And Da Converters. Operating As A Subcircuit In A Complex System, An Important Requi- Ment For This Class Of Circuits Is Represented By The Possibility Of Implementation In The Existing Technology, Using The Available Active And Passive Devices. The Most Important Performances Of A Voltage Reference Circuit Are Represented By Temperature Behavior, Power Supply Rejection Ratio, Transient Response And, For The Latest Designs, By Low-power Low-voltage Operation.
