Sumario:Recent advancements in low-power and low-voltage integrated circuits have spurred significant research interest, particularly for applications with demanding supply conditions. This work presents a single-branch voltage reference achieving exceptional immunity to supply voltage variations. Leveraging a Δ V-based approach, the design utilizes transistors with different channel lengths to exploit geometry-dependent threshold voltage differences, enabling effective temperature compensation. Additionally, a multi-self-cascoded technique enhances immunity to supply voltage variations. Post-layout simulations of a 0.18 μ m CMOS design, operating with supply voltage as low as 0.45 V, demonstrate a line sensitivity of 2.73 ppm/V and a temperature coefficient of 20.1 ppm/°C, with power consumption below 200 pW. The proposed architecture is shown to be a robust solution for implementing precise, low-voltage and low-power voltage references.
