Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8202964A1] A variable temperature coefficient level shifter includes a circuit which generates a voltage V<uBE>u having a negative temperature coefficient and a voltage //c V<uBE>u having a positive temperature coefficient. A control current is generated by placing a first resistor (R<uN>u) between V<uBE>u and ground and a second resistor (R<up>u) between //c V<uBE>u and ground. Each of these currents forms a component of the control current which then has some net temperature coefficient. By properly scaling the resistors the control current may have any desired temperature coefficient between 2800ppm and 3000ppm. Once the temperature coefficient is set, a third resistor (R<uS>u) is provided through which the control current flows. The amplitude of the shift is then selected by selecting the value of resistor (R<uS>us).
