Abstract
A selected bandgap reference () of a voltage generator () is operated at a duty cycle that is less than one hundred percent. The seclectable bandgap reference () has at a high current consumption when enabled and a low current consumption when disabled. The output voltage of the selectable bandgap reference () is stored on a storage element () when the selectable bandgap reference () is enabled. A high impedance amplifier () receives the stored voltage and generates the reference voltage.
