  • Abstract
    A circuit which reduces the VBE wafer spread of a standard bipolar transistor in linear ICs is described. This compensation circuit takes advantage of the close correlation between Is and beta r. The spread of VBE is the major source of output error in IC temperature sensors with intrinsic reference, which thereby require resistive trimming.
