Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a reference voltage of a low value and to execute a sufficient temperature compensation by connecting a resistor whose temperature is large with an output terminal, connecting a resistor whose temperature coefficient is small between this resistor and an earth and feeding the voltage of the common connection part of the two resistors back to an inversion input terminal. CONSTITUTION:A resistor R2 and a resistor R3 are connected in series between an output terminal 1 and the earth and a feedback is executed from the common connection point of the resistors R2 and R3 to the gate of one FET N2 of a differential connection. The resistor R2 has the larger temperature coefficient than that of the resistor R3. Here, since the voltages into which a reference voltage VR obtained at the input terminal 1 is divided by the resistors R2 and R3 are negatively fed back, the reference voltage becomes as an expression shows. That is to say, even when the difference in the threshold voltages of a FET N1 and the FET N2 is set sufficiently low, by setting suitably the ration of the resistors R2 and R3, the desired reference voltage can be obtained.

However, in this circuit, in order to improve the temperature coefficient,
It is necessary to set the difference between the two open voltages, that is, the reference voltage VR, to 1.0 V or more, and for this reason, the power supply voltage should be set to 1.0 V or more. It needed to be Ov or higher. In addition, since the difference in threshold voltage of FETs is used as a reference voltage, it is necessary to use a depressing type FET (drain current flows even when the gate voltage is zero) for the FETNI with a low threshold value, so (Even if the gate width and length are the same), there is a large difference in Gm, so this had to be corrected by adjusting the size.

[Means for solving the problem] For this purpose, the present invention comprises a differential amplifier circuit in which a non-inverting input terminal is grounded and an output signal is fed back to an inverting input terminal, and two differentially connected terminals of the circuit are provided. In the MOS reference voltage circuit, the threshold voltage on the non-inverting input terminal side of each MOSFET is made higher than the threshold voltage on the inverting input terminal side, and a reference voltage is obtained based on the difference between both threshold voltages. A resistor with a large temperature coefficient is connected to the terminal connected to the resistor, and a resistor with a small temperature coefficient is connected between the resistor and the ground, and the voltage at the common connection between the two resistors is fed back to the inverting input terminal.

In this circuit, the voltage obtained by dividing the reference voltage VR obtained at the output terminal 1 by the resistors R2 and R3 is negatively fed back, so the reference voltage VR is as follows. That is, even if the difference between the threshold voltages of FETNI and FETN2 is set sufficiently low, a desired reference voltage can be obtained by appropriately setting the ratio of resistors R2 and R3. Therefore, the difference in threshold voltage can be set to, for example, about 0.3 V, and the power supply voltage can also be set to 1.0 V or less.
