ABSTRACT:
A voltage reference circuit which includes a first diode having a first predetermined forward voltage drop as a function of current, a second diode having a second predetermined forward voltage drop as a function of current, lower by a preselected amount than said first diode voltage drop and connected to a voltage reference node and to one end of said first diode. A resistor is connected to the voltage reference node and to another end of the first diode such that the second diode and the resistor form a current path around the first diode. The arrangement is such that the temperature coefficient of voltage at the voltage reference node is less than that across the first diode.
