ABSTRACT:
A high shunt regulator provides precise voltage over process, temperature, power supply, and foundries. The HV level is settable by a digital control bits such as fuse bits. A filter network filters out the ripple noise and charge transient. A tracking capacitor divider network speeds up response time. A fractional band gap reference provides fractional bandgap voltage and current, and operates at low power supply and has superior power supply rejection. It is unsusceptible to substrate hot carrier effect. It exposes very little to drain induced barrier lowering effect. The bandgap core has better than conventional transient response and stability. One embodiment has adjustable level control. Complementary TC (temperature coefficient) trimming allows efficient realization of zero temperature coefficients of current and voltage. Higher order curvature correction of voltage and current is integrated. Replica bias for the control loop is presented. A Binary and Approximation Complementary TC search trimming is described. A zero TC fractional voltage less than the theoretical bandgap voltage (<<−1.2. Volt) is realizable. The bandgap core has a filtering mechanism to reject high frequency noise. A low power startup circuit powers up the band gap. The band gap also has variable impedance.
