TLDR
In this article, a temperature compensated voltage reference circuit is proposed, in which a compensation current is generated by establishing a current through a passive impedance element which varies with temperature in accordance with the transistor voltage equation.Abstract:
A temperature compensated voltage reference circuit in which a compensation current is generated by establishing a current through a passive impedance element which varies with temperature in accordance with the transistor voltage equation. This current is proportionately reflected into the output impedance circuit associated with the voltage reference, where it compensates for temperature induced voltage variations. The passive impedance element is adjustable to correct for processing variations, and the compensation circuit requires no voltage supplies other than those typically provided for the reference circuit by itself.read more
