在EDA Board 抓的資訊, 參考一下:

I believe that what you are getting at is that there is a specific structure of P+/Nwell/Psub that is used for - p: @1 O* x# u! A
' Z7 _5 U, ~8 T) f+ r' @! B, D
the "bipolar", so you are asking why use that structure rather than simply a P+/Nwell "diode". Here is my take
9 i; a' `4 B9 c9 a* [. Y* w- o ]/ V: w8 y: Q0 V( b8 Z9 m8 M
on this:# K4 h# A$ A7 K6 i$ t1 q
3 |* Q2 _" q% a( D* N1- The "bipolar" will simulate more accurately than the "diode", since it will include the substrate current 1 a3 e- `: Y8 N0 i+ x

that is probably not modeled for the "diode".! h5 V: S# B" ]' S& r9 m
$ }- M, n+ Z1 S' k8 o- I, U, n* o% @; f! R
2- There usually is a specific structure for the "bipolar" that has characterization data available. When
+ V( U! `6 w& A1 V2 |" t g" @6 Z% [2 n. d6 ?6 x% N- ], A E
building a bandgap structure, the good characterization is needed in order to properly determine the tempco of

3- The additional structure of the bipolar should help prevent current injection into other substrate tied

There is, of course, nothing preventing the use of a P+/Nwell diode in your application. |
