hi Yawei,
            ya it's correct, but you cann't say that n1 is sinal ground because i feel we have to say that it should be represented by it's small signal equivalent (dynamic resistance)..but you are correct compared to n1 n2 should be high impedance node.

@loose-electron: i did't understand why you are saying that it's single loop..because wht i feel you are feedback to both terminals of the opamp.

Thanks,
Rajasekhar.




hello
i dont quite understand why n2 is high impedance node.
Can someone help me understand how we decide which input of the op-amp to connect to the bandgap circuit.

is it because the impedance seen is (R1+R2)/(R1+R2+R3), compared to the impedance seen at n1 R1/R2. Assuming all have the same impedance.
So high impedance = high gain, is that why it is tied to the inverting input.

Think at the gains from the amps output!
G1=1/(1+gmd*R1)
G2=(R3+1/[m*gmd])/(R1/m+R3+1/[m*gmd])=(1+m*gmd*R3)/(1+gmd*R1+m*gmd*R3)

where gmd: gm of the diode; m: the ratio of the currents in the two legs.

G1<G2 always, since 1/n=1/n*(n+x)/(n+x)=1/(n+x)+(x/n)/(n+x)<(1+x)/(n+x)

Therefore G2 has to be connected in a way to form the negative gain loop: inverting terminal of the amp.

Simple, right?

An AC analyses of a band gap is misleading and does not actually explain what is happening. There is a DC voltage/current that is technically always a “negative” loop in the sense that if too high it makes an output less, and too low it makes an output higher. However, it is in a notional positive feedback loop. To correctly understand this, the delta Vbe circuit must be correctly understood, as shown here. http://www.kevinaylward.co.uk/ee/ptat/PTAT.xht . It’s absolutely fundamental to understanding how a really bandgap works.

Hi all,

I'm having a tough time deriving equation 3.17 from the circuit in the attachment. Please do point me in the right direction.

hi, Shajo,

may I know from which book the screenshot is taken from ?

Thanks!
