Abstract
A circuit for providing a reference voltage includes a bandgap reference circuit, the bandgap reference circuit providing a first reference voltage and a data storage. The data storage stores a digital value corresponding to the first reference voltage. A digital to analog converter is coupled to the data storage for providing a second reference voltage corresponding to the digital value. The circuit also includes an output switch circuit responsive to at least one control signal, the output switch circuit providing either the first reference voltage or the second reference voltage to an output node responsive to the control signal.
