Abstract

Across the entire operating temperature range, and without requiring a new transistor element, the constant voltage output by a constant voltage circuit can be controlled to a voltage greater than or equal to the stop-oscillating voltage and as low as possible. A resistancethat negatively feeds back a reference current Iref is connected between the gate and source of a depletion mode n-channel transistorconfigured to produce the reference current Iref on which the constant voltage VREG is based. The resistance of resistancehas a gradient to temperature change of the same sign as the gradient of the difference between the constant voltage and the stop-oscillating voltage to temperature change when the gradient of the resistance value of the resistance to temperature change is 0.
