Abstract
Various aspects relate to a startup circuit for a bandgap reference circuit, wherein a target voltage value is associated with the bandgap reference circuit, the target voltage value being indicative of a startup condition of the bandgap reference circuit that triggers a stable on-state of the bandgap reference circuit, wherein the startup circuit is configured to: provide a startup voltage at the bandgap reference circuit to trigger a start of an operation of the bandgap reference circuit; receive a feedback voltage, wherein the feedback voltage is representative of a startup condition of the bandgap reference circuit; and either increase the startup voltage at the bandgap reference circuit in the case that a voltage value of the feedback voltage is less than the target voltage value, or stop providing the startup voltage at the bandgap reference circuit in the case that the voltage value of the feedback voltage is equal to or greater than the target voltage value.
