Reference voltage circuit including transistor

Abstract

The present invention includes: a first current source, through which a first current is made to flow; a second current source, through which a second current set at a certain ratio to the first current is made to flow; a first current path, which includes a second resistor, a first resistor, and a first bipolar transistor that are connected to the first current source in a sequential manner, and through which the first current is made to flow; a second current path, which includes a third resistor and a 0th bipolar transistor that are connected to the second current source in a sequential manner, and through which the second current is made to flow; an operational amplifier, which controls current amounts of the first current and the second current by an output from an output end, and of which a positive input end is connected to a connection point between the second resistor and the first resistor, and of which a negative input end is connected to a connection point between the third resistor and the 0th bipolar transistor; and a buffer amplifier, which outputs a reference voltage, and of which a positive input end is connected to a connection point between the second current source and the third resistor, and of which a negative input end is connected to an output end; wherein an area ratio of the first bipolar transistor to the 0th bipolar transistor is n:1, and a reference voltage of which temperature dependence is corrected is obtained by adjusting resistance values of the first and the third resistor and a value of the area ratio n.
