A layout of a voltage/current reference system is disclosed. A first voltage/current reference circuit (for example, a bandgap reference circuit) and a second voltage/current reference circuit are respectively laid out on either side of a substrate, such as edges or perimeter sides of the substrate. A reference voltage/current is derived by averaging respective output reference voltage/current values of the first and the second voltage/current reference circuits. Accordingly, the noise influence on the voltage/current reference system is minimized.

Layout of a reference generating system

A power distribution system is disclosed. The system includes a first power line and a second power line laid out on a substrate. The first power line is spaced apart from the second power line. The system also includes at least one conductive connecting line that electrically couples the first power line at one end and the second power line at another end. A power supply supplies power to the first power line and the second power line. A supply node on the conductive connecting line is then used to provide the supplied power.
