A temperature compensation technology based on 0.6 μm BiCMOS process used for white LED drive circuit is presented. The mechanism of the band-gap circuit is well studied, and the characteristics of operation amplifier and band-gap voltage reference are simulated by Hspice. The sensitive temperature characteristic of PN junction inverse saturation current is fully utilized to obtain good temperature coefficient and PSRR with simple circuit structure. The mechanism of the circuit is described by expressions. We have deduced the expressions of the output voltage and current, and the influence of the input offset voltage is also considered. Apparently, not only good temperature coefficient and regulable output voltage, but also good temperature coefficient output current can be obtained by regulating some of the resistances. The input offset voltage can be restrained by this method also. The result of the emulator shows that the temperature coefficient of the band-gap voltage reference is 2.8×10^-5/K,and the PSRR is over 70 dB. The voltage gain of the amplifier is about 78 dB when working at low frequency. The power consumption of the whole circuit is only about 0.05 mW. It implies that all of the parameters have achieved the expectations. This band-gap voltage reference circuit can be widely used in other voltage regulator chips.
