ABSTRACT:
A reference circuit including a reference cell for generating a reference current in response to a control voltage. The reference current is received by a first branch of a first current mirror circuit and a matched current is generated in a second branch of the mirror circuit. An output device is connected to receive the matched current and to supply a reference level derived from the matched current. A dividing circuit selectively reduces the reference level derived from the first matched current from a first full reference level to a second reduced reference level. The reference circuit is particularly suitable for memory devices having memory cells formed by integrated gate transistors.
