Self-Cascode MOSFET with a Self-Biased Body Effect for Ultra-Low-Power Voltage Reference Generator Hao ZHANG Mengshu HUANG Yimeng ZHANG Tsutomu YOSHIHARA Publication IEICE TRANSACTIONS on Electronics Vol.E96-C No.6 pp.859-866 Publication Date: 2013/06/01 Online ISSN: 1745-1353 DOI: 10.1587/transele.E96.C.859 Print ISSN: 0916-8516 Type of Manuscript: Special Section PAPER (Special Section on Analog Circuits and Related SoC Integration Technologies) Category: Keyword: voltage reference, subthreshold, self-cascode, body effect, ultra-low power, low output, Full Text: PDF(1.2MB)>>
Summary: This paper proposes a novel approach for implementing an ultra-low-power voltage reference using the structure of self-cascode MOSFET, operating in the subthreshold region with a self-biased body effect. The difference between the two gate-source voltages in the structure enables the voltage reference circuit to produce a low output voltage below the threshold voltage. The circuit is designed with only MOSFETs and fabricated in standard 0.18-µm CMOS technology. Measurements show that the reference voltage is about 107.5 mV, and the temperature coefficient is about 40 ppm/  , at a range from -20 to 80. The voltage line sensitivity is 0.017%/V. The minimum supply voltage is 0.85 V, and the supply current is approximately 24 nA at 80. The occupied chip area is around 0.028 mm2. | |||||
