Reference voltages from BGR

[gunturikishore]

Hi,

Can anybody suggest me some recent papers for generating various reference voltages for ADCs. I referred and simulated Band Gap Referece circuits but it seems the range offered is less with the device tolerances and low power circuits.

Abstract
This paper proposes a CMOS bandgap reference (BGR) circuit, which can successfully operate with sub-1-V supply, In the conventional BGR circuit, the output voltage Vref is the sum of the built-in voltage of the diode Vf and the thermal voltage VT of kT/q multiplied by a constant. Therefore, Vref is about 1.25 V, which limits a low supply-voltage operation below 1 V. Conversely, in the proposed BGR circuit, Vref has been converted from the sum of two currents; one is proportional to Vf and the other is proportional to VT. An experimental BGR circuit, which is simply composed of a CMOS op-amp, diodes, and resistors, has been fabricated in a conventional 0.4-μm flash memory process. Measured Vref is 518±15 mV (3σ) for 23 samples on the same wafer at 27-125°C
