A Low Temperature Sensitivity Switched-Capacitor Current Reference

A current reference with low temperature sensitivity based on a switched-capacitor technique has been developed. The implementation is targeted for a 0.18µ µ µ µ CMOS process. HSPICE simulations using level 49 models valid over a wide temperature range were used to verify the design. The simulation results predict variations of less than 0.029% over a temperature range of -40 ° ° ° °C to 125 °C. .
