Abstract
A bandgap reference (BGR) circuit is provided. The BGR circuit includes a first node, a second node, and a third node. A first resistive element is connected between the second node and the third node. The BGR circuit is operative to provide a reference voltage as an output. The BGR circuit further includes a current shunt path connected between the first node and the third node, the current shunt path being operable to regulate a voltage drop across the first resistive element.
