Reference voltage generator tolerant to temperature variations

摘要

A reference voltage generator capable of stably generating a reference voltage irrespective of temperature variations is provided. The reference voltage generator includes a voltage bias unit having a plurality of resistors and a first group of transistors serially connected between a power supply voltage node and a ground voltage node, a reference voltage node connected to one of the plurality of resistors or transistors to produce a preliminary reference voltage; a voltage controller connected between the preliminary reference voltage node and the ground voltage node; a temperature compensator having a second group of transistors serially connected between the preliminary reference voltage node and a reference voltage node to produce a reference voltage; and a voltage compensator having a third group of transistors serially connected between the reference voltage node and the ground voltage node for controlling the reference voltage. The temperature compensator compensates for temperature variation and the voltage compensator maintains the reference voltage at a predetermined value regardless of the temperature variation. Thus, the reference voltage generator can generate a stable reference voltage.
