This paper proposes a novel second-order temperature-compensated CMOS current reference which exploits a new self-biased current source for first-order temperature compensation and a resistor-free widlar current mirror for second-order temperature compensation. Moreover, by deriving the temperature coefficient (TC) of the reference current, the temperature compensation condition equations together with a design method of minimizing the thermal drift in a required temperature range are presented. Based on these, the circuit is designed in a standard 0.18 μm CMOS process and achieves a very low TC of only 16.9 ppm/°C in a temperature range between -40°C and 120°C, with 1 μA reference current at 27°C. Besides, the current reference can operate at supply voltage down to 1.3 V, with a good supply regulation of 0.5%/V. At 27°C, its power consumption is 8.93 μW.

A novel tuning principle for simple gyrator-based CMOS active inductor (AI) circuit is presented. The method makes use of Widlar current source to enhance the quality factor. The simulation of the proposed AI provides a maximum quality factor of 1819 at 2.88[Formula: see text]GHz. The AI shows the inductive bandwidth of 1.66[Formula: see text]GHz to 3.16[Formula: see text]GHz and power consumption of 6.87[Formula: see text]mW. The other characterization factors such as linearity, supply voltage sensitivity and noise analysis are discussed. The performance of the tunable AI using Widlar current source are compared with the same using a simple current mirror. An AI using a conventional current mirror (CCM) and Widlar current source have been implemented in the 0.18[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m CMOS technology.

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.

The design of a 22 KHz 358 nW CMOS relaxation oscillator with a process and temperature compensation scheme is presented. Instead of the commonly used RC time constant, the oscillation period of the proposed circuit is determined by the resistance ratio of several resistors, which is insensitive to process and temperature variations. The on-chip relaxation oscillator is simulated in a 0.18 [Formula: see text]m CMOS process. Without any calibration or off-chip components, the frequency variation of the proposed oscillator is ±[Formula: see text]3.24% across [Formula: see text] to 100[Formula: see text]C temperature range and 5 different process corners. Compared to the conventional relaxation oscillator, the frequency variation of this circuit is reduced by 89%. The simulated temperature coefficient is 111 ppm/[Formula: see text]C, and the frequency variation over the supply voltage from 1.2 V to 1.7 V is 2.1%/V. The typical power consumption of the proposed circuit is 358 nW.

This paper presents an approach to the design of a high-precision CMOS voltage reference. The proposed circuit is designed for TSMC 0.35 μm standard CMOS process. We design the first-order temperature compensation bandgap voltage reference circuit. The proposed post-simulated circuit delivers an output voltage of 0.596 V and achieves the reported temperature coefficient (TC) of 3.96 ppm/°C within the temperature range from -60°C to 130°C when the supply voltage is 1.8 V. When simulated in a smaller temperature range from -40°C to 80°C, the circuit achieves the lowest reported TC of 2.09 ppm/°C. The reference current is 16.586 μA. This circuit provides good performances in a wide range of temperature with very small TC.


a low voltage CMOS Nano power current reference circuit has been presented in this paper and also the circuit simulation performance in 180-nm UMC CMOS technology. Most of the MOSFETs operate in sub-threshold region consisting of bias-voltage, start-up and current-source sub-circuits. A stable reference current of 4-nA lying in supply voltage range of 1 V-1.8 V has been generated with line sensitivity of 0.203% /V. Within the temperature range of 0°C to 100 °C, and the voltage level of 1.8 V, the temperature coefficient was 7592ppm/°C. At the same voltage supply, the power dissipation was found out to be 380 NW. It is suitable to use this circuit in sub threshold power aware large scale integration.

The exchange reactions of iodide ion with o- and p-nitroiodobenzene in the temperature range about 170°–238°C were apparently second order with activation energies of approximately 29 and 33.5 kcal. per mole respectively. In the same temperature range the exchange of iodide ion with iodobenzene and m-nitroiodobenzene appeared to be first order reactions, with activation energies of approximately 25 kcal. per mole.

This paper discusses a hybrid Digital-Analog Converter (DAC) architecture which is a combination of a binary-weighted resistor approach for eight bits in the least-significant-bit and thermometer coded approach for four bits in the most-significant-bit. The proposed design combines advantages of the binary-weighted resistor approach and thermometer coded approach. The final design is composed of two 12-bit DACs to achieve a pseudo differential output signal. The converter was designed with a Silterra 0.18 μm 1.8 V/3.3 V CMOS process technology. The post-layout simulation results show that this design achieves 12-bit resolution with INL and DNL of 0.375 LSB and 0.25 LSB, respectively. The power consumption is 6.291 mW when the designed DAC is biased with supply voltage equal to 3 V. The performance is accomplished with a design area of 230 μm × 255 μm.
