Startup time in bandgap refernces (Read 2437 times)

analogy New Member Offline Posts: 4	Startup time in bandgap refernces Feb 07^th, 2017, 12:29pm What should be the rise-time of a bandgap circuit with an enable pin? Should I be worried if for certain rise times to the enable pin of a bandgap reference I see bizarre startup behavior? Let me know if I need to further clarify my question. Thanks.

It tells you that there is something unintended. Otherwise the settling requirement depends on the applciation and the circuitry connected to the bandgap. Can't be said anything in general. Ask your tutor/boss about it.

Thank you tzg6sa!

Could you elaborate on some of the applications based on your experiences? Let's say that you have a bandgap reference - now do you directly connect bandgap output to current mirrors? And if so, do you have to worry about sink/source circuit's impedance (and that impedance affecting start-up response of bandgap)?
