Abstract
A bandgap reference circuit comprises: a current generator for generating an output current, the current generator comprising a first reference unit and a plurality of second reference units arranged in parallel, where the current generator is capable of determining the magnitude of the output current according to the reference units; a first resistor, coupled between a first terminal of the first reference unit and a node, for transmitting a first current; a second resistor, coupled to the node and a first terminal of each second reference unit, for transmitting a second current; a third resistor, coupled between the node and an output terminal of the bandgap reference circuit, for transmitting a third current; and a current-to-voltage converter, coupled to the third resistor, for generating a bandgap voltage according to the output current and the third current.
