Abstract
An ultra-low-power voltage reference generator in an integrated CMOS circuit includes a regular MOS transistor reference current source connected to a line voltage and a regular MOS transistor resistor between the regular MOS transistor reference current source and ground. A constant with temperature reference voltage VREF is generated from a terminal inter-connecting the regular MOS transistor reference current source and the regular MOS transistor resistor. An ultra-low-power current reference generator receives a reference voltage and generated ultra-low level current from the reference voltage with a temperature compensated gate-leakage array.
