The present invention relates to a low impedance band-gap voltage
reference circuit which comprises a band-gap reference circuit, a buffer
circuit to reduce the impedance and related noise associated with
band-gap references electronically coupled with the band-gap voltage
reference circuit and a voltage pull-up device electronically coupled
with both the band-gap reference circuit and the buffer circuit. The
voltage pull-up device acts to reduce the supply voltage required to
maintain a stable, low Z band-gap reference voltage.
