    Abstract: An embodiment amplifier circuit includes a pair of subcircuits that includes a first subcircuit and a second subcircuit, each of which includes a buffer amplifier and a feedback circuit that includes a feedback capacitor. The amplifier circuit also includes a pair of output terminals. The first subcircuit and the second subcircuit each generate a different output signal of a pair of output signals that includes a first output signal and a second output signal. The amplifier circuit is configured for receiving a positive differential input signal at the first subcircuit, receiving a negative differential input signal at the second subcircuit, and receiving the pair of output signals at the pair of output terminals. The amplifier circuit is also configured for transmitting the first output signal to the feedback circuit of the first subcircuit, and transmitting the second output signal to the feedback circuit of the second subcircuit.

    Abstract: A bandgap reference circuit includes a bandgap reference core circuit that includes a first bipolar transistor having a first emitter current density and a first base-emitter voltage, a second bipolar transistor having a second emitter current density that is smaller than the first emitter current density and having a second base-emitter voltage, a resistor that is connected to the emitter of the second bipolar transistor, and a differential amplifier circuit that is configured to control first and second emitter currents through the first and second bipolar transistors, respectively, such that a sum of the second base-emitter voltage and a voltage drop across the resistor approximates the first base-emitter voltage. The bandgap reference circuit further includes a first replica bipolar transistor that emulates an operating point of the first bipolar transistor and a second replica bipolar transistor that emulates an operating point of the second bipolar transistor.
