Abstract:
An offset corrected bandgap reference and temperature sensor is disclosed. In a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) bandgap reference, non-idealities in the operational amplifier (op-amp) bandgap reference circuit can lead to a voltage offset. This operational amplifier offset voltage is the dominant source of error in the bandgap reference. If the bandgap reference is used in a temperature sensor, it only needs to be accurate during the analog-to-digital conversion cycle. Embodiments of the present disclosure employ switched capacitors to store the operational amplifier offset during a sample mode in which the bandgap reference operates continuous-time. The operational amplifier offset is then corrected during a hold mode while the temperature sensor completes the analog-to-digital conversion.
