Resumo

In the literature three key-parameters are commonly used for the design of bipolar bandgap references: E G (bandgap energy), I S (saturation current) and X TI (exponent of the temperature behavior of I S ). This paper shows that four key parameters exist: these three and V AR ,the reverse Early voltage. This parameter models the influence of the base-width modulation at the base-emitter junction on the collector current. A general expression for the error in the output voltage caused by the reverse Early effect is derived and a comparison is made with other errors.
