ABSTRACT:
A bandgap reference circuit includes a reference current generator for respectively generating a first reference current on a first current path and a second reference current on a second current path, a current mirror for generating a third reference current on a third current path based on the first and second reference currents, an operation amplifier for rendering the first reference current substantially identical to the second reference current and a feedback circuit for rendering a node voltage on the first current path substantially identical to another node voltage on the third current path, so as to eliminate possible errors caused by a channel length modulation effect in the current mirror.
