Abstract: A novel depletion-mode NJFET compatible high-voltage BiCMOS process is proposed and experimentally demonstrated with a four-branch 12-bit DAC (digital-to-analog converter). With this process, an NJFET with a pinch-off voltage of about –1.5 V and a breakdown voltage of about 16 V, an NLDDMOS (N-type lightly-dosed-drain in MOS) with a turn-on voltage of about 1.0 V and a breakdown voltage of about 35 V, and a Zener diode with a reverse voltage of about 5.6 V were obtained. Measurement results showed that the converter had a reference temperature coefficient of less than ± 25 ppm/℃, a differential coefficient error of less than ± 0.3 LSB, and a linear error of less than ± 0.5 LSB. The depletion-mode NJFET and its compatible process can also be widely used for high-voltage ADCs or DACs.
