Abstract
An electronic device is provided, including: a terminal configured for receiving a bandgap voltage reference, generated by incorporating a first base-emitter voltage subject to process variation; the electronic device including a first transistor with a base configured to be exposed to the bandgap voltage reference; the first transistor is biased with a constant collector current corresponding with the first base-emitter voltage, and is configured for providing a shifted voltage, VE, based on decreasing the bandgap voltage reference by a second base-emitter voltage subject to the process variation; and the electronic device including a second transistor, of the same type as the first transistor, including an emitter configured to be exposed to the shifted voltage; and the second transistor is biased with a constant base current and is configured for providing a restored bandgap voltage based on increasing the shifted voltage by a third base-emitter voltage.
