ABSTRACT:
A highly stable voltage regulator circuit based on a low-voltage reference and supplying a voltage which is substantially higher than the reference voltage. The circuit is to be constructed as an integrated circuit comprising transistors of one conductivity type and without a zener diode.
The reference voltage is supplied by a "band-gap reference" circuit (1). A differential circuit (T16, T17) controls the output voltage, which is applied to the base of a transistor (T16) via a resistor (R16) in which the current is maintained constant by means of an associated differential circuit (T11, T12) which comprises a resistor (R11) connected between its emitters. The bases of the transistors T11, T12 are each connected to one end of a resistor (R20) arranged in a bridge connected between the reference terminal and ground.
