A method and device for the generation of a bandgap reference voltage, compensating for temperature and input voltage fluctuations, in a device hardened against radiation. To generate a stable reference voltage output, the device provides a positive temperature coefficient voltage and a negative temperature coefficient voltage, compensating the positive temperature coefficient voltage with the negative temperature coefficient voltage to maintain the stable bandgap reference voltage output under temperature changes. In addition, input voltage fluctuations are tracked, and excess current is shunted to maintain the stable bandgap reference voltage output under voltage changes. An epi ring insulates the bandgap reference voltage generator sensitive nodes from excess leakage currents caused by radiation.
