A bandgap circuit comprising a current generation circuit and a current
replication circuit is provided herein. The output current of the current
generation circuit is generated as a weighted sum of two currents. The
circuit configuration of the current generation circuit allows it to
function at low power supply voltages, e.g., on the order of 1 V. The
current replication circuit includes an operational amplifier, which when
configured in conjunction with MOS cascode current sources and the
current generation circuit, significantly increases the accuracy and
insensitivity to power supply noise of the bandgap circuit output
current. A resistor may be included between the bandgap circuit output
node and ground for generating a reference voltage with increased
accuracy and insensitivity to power supply noise.
