    The document discusses bandgap voltage references used in analog integrated circuit design. It introduces that analog circuits require stable voltage and current references that are independent of supply and process variations and have a defined dependence on temperature. It then explains that bandgap references generate a voltage that remains constant with temperature by adding voltages with opposite temperature coefficients with proper weighting to achieve zero temperature coefficient. The document provides an overview of general considerations for references and different circuit implementations of bandgap references.

    Bandgap voltage references in analog IC design

    INTRODUCTION
    Analog circuits incorporate voltages and current references extensively. Such references are dc quantities that exhibit little dependence on supply and process parameters and a well defined dependence on temperature. For example, the bias current of a differential pair must be generated according to a reference, for it affects the voltage gain and noise of the circuit Also in systems such as A/D and D/A converters, a reference is required to define input or output full scale range.

    How do we generate a quantity that remains constant with temperature? We postulate if two quantities having opposite temperature coefficients are added with proper weighting , the result displays a zero tc. For example two voltages vary in opposite directions with temperature we choose 1, 2 such that
