摘要
GaN smart power chip technology has been realized on the GaN-on-Si platform, featuring monolithically integrated high-voltage power devices, and low-voltage peripheral devices for mixed-signal functional blocks. In particular, this paper presents the imperative analog functional block - the voltage reference generator for smart power applications with wide-temperature-range stability. These circuits are shown to be capable of proper functions from room temperature (RT) up to 250 degrees C, featuring a negative reference voltage of -2.21 V at RT, and -2.13 V at 250 degrees C. The optimized voltage reference generator achieved less than 0.5 mV/degrees C drift. It can be used to create a reference voltage for various biasing and sensing circuits.
