Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for generating a temperature compensated reference voltage. A temperature compensation circuit may include a proportional-to-absolute temperature (PTAT) circuit, and a complementary-to-absolute temperature (CTAT) circuit, with the PTAT circuit and the CTAT circuit including at least one common metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) and being configured to collectively generate a reference voltage in response to a regulated current input. The PTAT circuit may be configured to produce an increase in magnitude of the reference voltage with an increase of temperature, and the CTAT circuit may be configured to generated a decrease in magnitude of the reference voltage with the increase of temperature, wherein the increase in magnitude of the reference voltage produced by the PTAT circuit is at least partially offset by the decrease in magnitude of the reference voltage produced by the CTAT circuit.
