Abstract
A circuit includes an OPAMP-less bandgap voltage generating core circuit connected between a regulated voltage and a ground reference to generate an output bandgap voltage. A preregulator circuit generates the regulated voltage from an unregulated supply voltage. The preregulator circuit includes a negative feedback loop operable to stabilize the regulated voltage and a current source operable to source current for the regulated voltage, the current source mirroring a PTAT current of the OPAMP-less bandgap voltage generating core circuit. The core circuit further includes a negative feedback loop and a positive feedback loop, the negative and positive feedback loops functioning to equalize two internal voltages within the core.
