How to design this circuit?????
Dec 07^th, 2009, 3:56am

Hi, friends,
� � Can anyone tell me some steps of designing this bandgap circuit below, assuming the desired specifications are given?
Must the mismatch between resistors and BJTs, the offset of OPAMP, the noise from all components be considered,during the design?
How to considered these nonideal impacts, and how to select the OPAMP?
� More details are expected.....Thanks !!!!1

I think you should study BG design further from different textbooks. Start with razavi, & then move onto Rincon Moora. These should provide you a good enough understanding of the subject and design procedure.

Yes All Mismatches, offsets, noise are considered in an industrial standard BG Design.

There's math behind everything. Search some papers / reading material on Voltage References, you will find it.
Opamp selection depends on your PSRR profile, and then the amount of noise injected by the error amplifying loop.

hi E20314006,
i didn't understand why you have chosen this kind of architecture? why ayou are loding your opamp with resisters. What i feel is you have to drive mosfets rather than resisters, in case you are using mosfet current sources then better to chose opamp based on psrr and systamatic offset point of view. So generally pmos current sources are driven by opamp whose load is pmos so as to get good psrr. Better use this pap
.V. Gupta, G. A. Rincon-Mora, and P. Raha, "Analysis and Design of Monolithic, High PSR, Linear Regulators for SoC Applications," Proc. IEEE International System on Chip (SOC) Conference, pp. 311-315, Santa Clara, California, 2004.

Thanks,
Rajasekhar.

Thanks,Mayank for detail reply.
Should I write some equations about these nonideal impact on the bandgap'performance before designing the bandgap, and then design the circuit according to these equations? Is it all right?
Can you give me some paper about it? Thank you!

Thanks, raja.cedt .
So , I first study available OPAMP'PSRR and offset,and then select an OPAMP according to these and the desired OPAMP'specification, is it all right???
But how to identify the OPAMP'PSRR and Offset according to the bandgap specification???? Some papers or materials are expected!!!
Thanks!!!!!
