A typical precision band gap consists transients caused by input switching networks, commonly of a reference core and buffer amplifier. Based on a new, pat- found in ADCs and measurement instrumentation equipment. ented band gap reference design (Figure 5), the AD680 merges Many of the dynamic problems associated with this situation the amplifier and the core band gap function to produce a can be minimized with a few simple techniques. Using a series compact, complete precision reference. resistor between the reference output and the load tends to “decouple” the reference output from the transient source, or a Central to the device is a high gain amplifier with an intentionally relatively large capacitor connected from the reference output to large proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) input offset. ground can serve as a charge storage element to absorb and This offset is controlled by the area ratio of the amplifier input deliver charge as required by the dynamic load.

Transistor tor is recommended for the AD680 in this case; this is large Q12’s base emitter voltage has a complementary to absolute enough to store the required charge, but small enough not to temperature (CTAT) characteristic. Resistor R2 and the parallel disrupt the stability of the reference. combination of Resistor R3 and Resistor R4 “multiply” the PTAT voltage across the R1 resistor.

Figure 6 shows the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz Q11 noise of a typical AD680. The noise measurement is made with a Q3Q4V band-pass filter made of a 1-pole high-pass filter, with a corner Q5OUTQ1 frequency at 0.1 Hz, and a 2-pole low-pass filter, with a corner 1 × R1 frequency at 12.6 Hz, to create a filter with a 9.922 Hz bandwidth.
