First-order Bandgap Reference Source Design with High Power Supply Rejection Ratio

In this paper, a first-order bandgap reference source with a high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) is designed. To obtain a low-temperature coefficient, a first-order bandgap temperature coefficient compensation method is used by adjusting the resistor resistance of the positive and negative temperature coefficients, and the gate-source voltage of the current mirror transistor is kept constant to increase the PSRR value in the low-frequency band. A self-start circuit is added to make the circuit start up quickly out of the simple bias point. The simulation results show that the bandgap reference voltage source has a constant 1.25V reference voltage with a temperature coefficient of 8.55ppm/°C in the temperature range of -40 to 125°C. The circuit is simulated using Cadence software. The circuit can be applied to OLED constant current source circuits and power management circuits.
