20110102058CIRCUIT FOR GENERATING A REFERENCE VOLTAGE - An embodiment of a bandgap voltage reference circuit for generating a bandgap voltage reference. Said embodiment comprises a current generator controlled by a first driving voltage for generating a first current depending on the driving voltage, and a first reference circuit element coupled to the controlled current generator for receiving the first current and generating a first reference voltage in response to the first current. The circuit further comprises a second reference circuit element for receiving a second current corresponding to the first current; said second reference circuit element is adapted to generate a second reference voltage in response to the second current. Said circuit further comprises a third reference circuit element for receiving a third current corresponding to the first current and generating the bandgap reference voltage in response to the third current, and an operational amplifier. The operational amplifier has a first input terminal coupled to the first circuit element for receiving a first reference voltage input based on the first reference voltage, a second input terminal coupled to the second reference circuit element for receive a second input voltage based on the second reference voltage and an output terminal coupled to the controlled current generator to provide the first driving voltage to the current generator according to the difference between the first input voltage and the second input voltage. The circuit also comprises a control circuit comprising first capacitive means and second capacitive means. The first capacitive means have a first terminal coupled to the first reference circuit element to receive the first reference voltage and a second terminal coupled to the first input terminal to provide the first input voltage. The second capacitive means comprise a first terminal coupled to the second reference circuit element for receiving the second reference voltage and a second terminal coupled to the second input terminal to provide the second input voltage. The control circuit also comprises biasing means to selectively provide a common-mode voltage to the second terminals of the first and second capacitive means.05-05-2011
