A Band-Gap Reference with Internal Digital Signal Processing

Abstract:

The objective of this project is to design a low-power band-gap voltage reference 
that uses internal digital processing to compute its analog output. A conventional band-gap 
reference creates an output voltage by summing a with a constant times in the analog domain. 
The idea of this project is that digitizing the and voltages allows the arithmetic to be done in 
the digital domain, which may be less expensive in die area and power dissipation than using standard 
analog techniques in modern CMOS processes.
