Question: Simulate the band-gap reference from Problem 4.29 on SPICE. Assume that the amplifier is just a voltage-controlled voltage source with an openloop gain of 10,000

Simulate the band-gap reference from Problem 4.29 on SPICE. Assume that the amplifier is just a voltage-controlled voltage source with an openloop gain of 10,000 and that the resistor values are independent of temperature. Also assume that IS1= 1.25 × 10ˆ’17A and IS2= 1 × 10ˆ’16A. In SPICE, adjust the closed-loop gain of the amplifier (by choosing suitable resistor values) so that the output TCFis zero at 25 °C. What is the resulting target value of VOUT? Now double IS1and IS2. Use SPICE to adjust the gain so that VOUTis equal to the target at 25 °C. Find the new dVOUT/dT at 25 °C with SPICE. Compare this result with the calculations from Problem 4.29.

Data from Prob. 4.29:

A band-gap reference like that of Fig. 4.47 is designed to have nominally zero TCF at 25°C. Due to process variations, the saturation current IS of the transistors is actually twice the nominal value. Assume VOS = 0. What is dVOUT/dT at 25 °C? Neglect base currents.
