Introduction

Voltage reference integrated circuits are widely used to establish accurate and stable voltages in analog circuits. While calibration-grade references are based on buried Zener diode technology (or even more exotic methods), the ubiquitous “band-gap” technique is the workhorse of the general purpose reference offerings. Band-gap references have historically offered fixed 1.2V to 10V outputs, along with a few adjustable models. The highly miniaturized ...
