Abstract Systems and methods to achieve a startup circuit of bandgap voltage reference generator circuits monitoring a current flow in the bandgap voltage reference generator circuit have been achieved. The startup circuit can operate at supply voltages of about one threshold voltage and is therefore appropriate for low voltage applications. The monitoring of a current through an electrical component inside the bandgap voltage reference generator circuit by replication the component branch in a scaled version saves power and does not disturb the normal operation of the current-mode bandgap voltage reference generator. The startup circuit invented can be applied for current-mode bandgap voltage reference generator circuits as well as for voltage-mode bandgap voltage reference generator circuits.
