HI All!
Could you give some information that should be considered carefully in bandgap layout (papers or files or books).

Thank you very much!
 

bandgap layout

base on your circuit performance
 

bandgap layout

a important thing is match of pnp transistors and resistors.
 

Re: bandgap layout

Try to minimize the no of BJT transistors used and increase the no of fingures of MOS transistors
for resistor try to set it ratioed to each other
 

bandgap layout

the match of transistors and resistors.
 

Re: bandgap layout

Does it matter if you place resistors horizontally or vertically in layout? I know for transistor it matter but how about resistors? Basically what is the rule of thumb for placing resistors in layout

Thanks
 

bandgap layout

the opamp should be careful layout too
 

Re: bandgap layout

bandgap bjt 1:8
or 64:4
put 4 in centrro
 

bandgap layout

you can look for the book
"IC Layout Basics" and "CMOS IC Layout"
maybe you can find some skill and technique
 

bandgap layout

Make sure transistors and resistors in Bandgap have the same orientation with resistors and transistors in current sources.
Resistors could be vertical or horizontal. It'll be better to have them in direction with less tolerance, of course depend on your technology.

Added after 1 minutes:

You may need to use true table to matching resistors

Hi,

nnn
non
nnn

for the PNP matching
Make sure the resitor the designer use in the bangap is the same as those use is the other circuit. Example: gate bias for frontend.
 

Re: bandgap layout

The flow of the current also need to be consider.

Since this is a analog circuit, if there is op-amp inside the circuit, the symetrical of the diff amp will does matter. the input path of the both op-amp is better to make it same. Different length will have different resistance, and this will coz some offset to your op-amp.
