US Patent Issued to STMicroelectronics International on June 9 for "Flicker noise free bandgap reference voltage generator circuit" (French Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 9 -- United States Patent no. 12,650,707, issued on June 9, was assigned to STMicroelectronics International N.V. (Geneva).

"Flicker noise free bandgap reference voltage generator circuit" was invented by Marc Sabut (Eybens, France), Emmanuel Allier (Grenoble, France), Matthieu Desvergne (Claix, France) and Denis Cottin (Crolles, France).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A bandgap voltage generator circuit is formed using only bipolar transistors. The bandgap voltage generator circuit includes an output node at which a bandgap reference voltage is generated. A transconductance amplifier circuit in a current control feedback loop has a differential input which receives a base...
