Selectively adjustable voltage detection integrated circuit

In a voltage detection circuit, the improvement comprising a source voltage, a reference voltage circuit means for receiving said source voltage, said reference voltage circuit means including at least first and second pairs of complementary coupled P-channel and N-channel MOS transistors, said P-channel transistor in said first pair being coupled in series with said N-channel transistor in said first pair, said P-channel transistor in said second pair being coupled in series with said N-channel transistor in said second pair, at least one of said transistors in said first pair of complementary coupled P-channel and N-channel transistors having a different threshold voltage than the like polarity transistor in the second pair of complementary coupled P-channel and N-channel transistors, said reference voltage circuit means defining at least a first predetermined voltage having a magnitude that is related to the difference in threshold voltages between said respective like polarity transistors in said first and second pairs, said predetermined voltage being substantially independent of variations in temperature and minor variations in said source voltage, said reference voltage circuit means producing a set reference output voltage at said predetermined voltage in response to said source voltage.
