A voltage reference circuit for providing a temperature compensated voltage at an output thereof comprise a pair of transistor operated at different current densities for producing a first and second voltages having complementary temperature coefficients and circuitry for combining the two voltages to produce the temperature compensated voltage. A pair of load resistors are connected to the collectors of the two transistors for sourcing currents thereto and a feedback circuit, including a differential amplifier coupled to the respective collectors, provides a feedback signal for adjusting the potential on the bases thereof to maintain different current densities in the two transistors. A bias circuit operates in conjunction with the differential amplifier to bias the same in a balanced operating state whenever the currents in the transistors are substantially equal.
