A family of CMOS compatible bandgap references

CMOS voltage references, which make use of compatible lateral bipolar transistors, will be described. The circuits are insensitive to low current gain of these devices and to amplifier offset. The output reference voltage is reproducible within 2mV, over the commercial temperature range, when all of the circuits of the same batch are trimmed at a single temperature.
