Abstract

See full text

A reference voltage generating circuit comprises a pair of variable resistors connected to a pair of bipolar transistors. A differential amplifier amplifies the band gap voltage difference between the bipolar transistors and outputs a reference voltage to an output terminal. An output stage resistor is connected to the output terminal and a resistance dividing circuit. The generating circuit includes temperature compensating circuits that receive tap voltages from resistance dividing circuit and a current proportional to the temperature, then output correction currents. The generating circuit additionally includes a current mirror circuit that outputs a mirror current depending on each correction current. The reference voltage generating circuit thus corrects the temperature dependence of the reference voltage.
