ABSTRACT:
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a reference voltage generation circuit including: a first transistor having a first gate, a first source and a first drain; a second transistor having a second gate connected to the first gate, a second source connected to the first source and a second drain; a first diode connected between a ground and a V− node; a first resistor connected between the V− node and the first drain; a second diode and a second resistor connected between the ground and a V+ node; a third resistor connected between the V+ node and the first drain; an operational amplifier including input ports connected to the V+ node and the V− node and an output port connected to the first gate and the second gate; and a fourth resistor connected between the ground and the second drain.
