A voltage reduction circuit for a bandgap reference voltage circuit is provided, and the voltage reduction circuit includes a first transistor, a current mirror circuit, a voltage dividing circuit, an output resistor, and a fourth transistor. The first transistor receives an initial bandgap reference voltage from the bandgap reference voltage circuit. The voltage dividing circuit has a voltage dividing node for outputting a first dividing voltage. The fourth transistor receives the first divided voltage. The current mirror circuit forms a first current on the voltage dividing circuit through the first transistor, and mirrors the first current to the output resistor to form a second current. The voltage dividing circuit and the output resistor each have a first temperature characteristic, the first transistor and the fourth transistor each have a second temperature characteristic, thereby generating, a reference voltage independent of temperature and lower than the initial bandgap reference voltage.
