I believe that what you are getting at is that there is a specific structure of P+/Nwell/Psub that is used for
8 B0 ?: T7 E, A" f5 N% Z2 Q, J% m a7 Z$ @/ q1 w6 ? @* M
the "bipolar", so you are asking why use that structure rather than simply a P+/Nwell "diode". Here is my take ) b$ Q0 I; ?; Z: Z) ~- X

1- The "bipolar" will simulate more accurately than the "diode", since it will include the substrate current $ v8 a. u! g. ^! {" \2 M" i" E

2- There usually is a specific structure for the "bipolar" that has characterization data available. When
/ D$ a- q1 k1 \, J4 E+ T/ d* K4 Y3 i, r' o# Y: A+ |: {8 s
building a bandgap structure, the good characterization is needed in order to properly determine the tempco of

the Base-emitter voltage.

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