Abstract

A reference voltage generation circuit of the invention includes: PMOS transistors Pand Pconfigured to provide current sources with same current to a first current path and a second current path; a bipolar transistor Qconnected to the PMOS transistors Pon the first current path; a bipolar transistor Qconnected to the PMOS transistors Pon the second current path; a differential amplifier AMP controlling the gates of the PMOS transistors Pand P, such that a voltage of a node VN and a voltage of a node VP are equal; an output node BGR outputting a reference voltage Vref; and a reference voltage guarantee portionoutputting a detecting signal BGRDET when a differences between the voltage of the node VN and the voltage of the node VP is maintained below a determined value.
