Abstract
A reference generation circuit includes a proportional-to-absolute temperature (PTAT) current branch having a pair of diodes and a complementary-to-absolute temperature (CTAT) current branch having a pair of resistors. A first bank of diode-connected transistors is positioned in the PTAT branch and a second bank of diode-connected transistors is positioned in the CTAT branch. Diode-connected transistors of the first and second banks of transistors are selectable to tune a gate-source voltage of each of the first and second banks of diode-connected transistors.
