A current reference with complex compensation using negative temperature coefficient of multiple currents is proposed. The principle of compensation is introduced in detail. This work generates two different compensated currents in the whole temperature range, which is different from the traditional curvature-compensated circuit. The compensation is achieved by using difference of the negative temperature coefficients. Piecewise curvature-compensation and higher order nonlinear temperature compensation are applied at the same time. The proposed circuit is simple and easy to implement. Results of simulation with HSPICE show that the achieved temperature coefficient is only 34.2 ppm/°C compared with 364 ppm/°C under 1 μm BCD process, which is unnecessary to compensate in the range of -25°C ∼ 125°C at 5 V supply voltage.

It is shown that previously calculated nonequilibrium rate constants for the dissociation of H2 and D2 appear to approach a rotationally averaged equilibrium expression at low temperature. This equilibrium form of the rate expression itself has an Arrhenius temperature coefficient for dissociation which is significantly less than the dissociation energy, and the corresponding recombination rate constant has a negative temperature coefficient. The reasons for this are explained.
