Methods and apparatus for temperature insensitive voltage supervisors

Abstract:

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for temperature insensitive voltage supervisors. An example apparatus includes a PTAT generation circuit including an output terminal: a first resistor having a first terminal and a second terminal, a second resistor having a third terminal and a fourth terminal, the third terminal coupled to the second terminal at a first node, a first transistor including a base terminal coupled to the fourth terminal of the second resistor at a second node, and a first current terminal coupled to the fourth terminal of the second resistor, a comparator including, a first input terminal coupled to the output terminal of the PTAT generation circuit at a third node, a second input terminal coupled to the second terminal and third terminal, and a third resistor having a fifth terminal coupled to the third terminal and the second input terminal at a fourth node.
