LOW NOISE BANDGAP VOLTAGE REFERENCE CIRCUITS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18298875 titled 'LOW NOISE BANDGAP VOLTAGE REFERENCE CIRCUITS
The voltage reference circuit in this patent application is designed to output reference voltages with reduced noise and power consumption compared to other circuits.
- The circuit stacks two or more independent shunt voltage reference circuits in series to produce a summed voltage (Vsum) and then amplifies it to output the desired reference voltage.
- The independent shunt voltage reference circuits are arranged to diminish any noise generated by each circuit in the summed voltage, potentially in an array configuration.
- This innovative arrangement results in a more efficient and accurate voltage reference circuit.
Potential Applications: - Integrated circuits - Power management systems - Sensor calibration
Problems Solved: - Noise reduction in voltage reference circuits - Improved power efficiency - Enhanced accuracy in voltage references

Questions about Voltage Reference Circuits: 1. How does this innovative circuit configuration improve noise reduction compared to traditional voltage reference circuits? - The stacking of independent shunt voltage reference circuits in series helps diminish noise in the summed voltage output.
2. What are the potential cost-saving implications of using this voltage reference circuit in power management systems? - The reduced power consumption of this circuit can lead to cost savings in energy usage for various applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
Voltage reference circuits configured to output reference voltages with a reduced noise on the output and reduced power consumption when compared to other arrangements of voltage reference circuits. The voltage reference circuit of this disclosure may stack two or more independent shunt voltage reference circuits in series to produce a summed voltage (Vsum), then amplify the summed voltage to output the desired reference voltage. The circuit of this disclosure may arrange the independent shunt voltage reference circuits to diminish any noise generated by each independent shunt voltage reference circuit in the summed voltage, for example as an array of independent shunt voltage reference circuits in series.
