ABSTRACT:
The circuit includes a reference cell having four NPN transistors with the base-to-emitter junctions thereof connected in a loop with a resistor. A separate bias circuit is connected to at least one of the transistors of the cell. The collector-to-emitter paths of a first pair of the transistors are connected in series and the collector-to-emitter paths of a second pair of the transistors of the cell are also connected in series. The configuration of the cell enables the emitter of one of the transistors thereof to drive a plurality of controlled NPN current supply transistors so that a reference current developed in the resistor can be provided to plurality of circuit points requiring a reference current of a regulated magnitude which has a predetermined temperature coefficient.
