A reference voltage circuit which is less dependent on semiconductor process variations compared to bandgap based reference voltage circuits. The circuit comprises a first amplifier having an inverting input, a non-inverting input and an output. A current biasing circuit provides first and second PTAT currents, and a CTAT current. The CTAT current is equal in value to the second PTAT at a first predetermined temperature and opposite in polarity. A first load element is coupled to the non-inverting input of the first amplifier and arranged for receiving the first PTAT current such that a PTAT voltage is developed across the first load element. A feedback load element is coupled between the inverting input and the output of the amplifier for receiving the summation of the CTAT current and the second PTAT current. The feedback load element is such that at a second predetermined temperature the voltage at the output of the amplifier is substantially equal to the voltage at the output of the amplifier at the first temperature.
