ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit has a first resistor and a second resistor. A base-emitter voltage differential is maintained across the first resistor to develop a first resistor current and a base-emitter voltage is maintained across the second resistor to develop a second resistor current. The first resistor current is mirrored and the second resistor current is subtracted from the mirrored current to obtain a reference current. The resistors have resistance values so that the products of each resistor current multiplied by its temperature coefficient are equal. The resulting reference current is temperature independent.
