Abstract
A voltage generator includes a temperature-dependent voltage generator and a reference voltage node. The temperature-dependent voltage generator generates a voltage that increases with temperature and includes a first transistor stack and a second transistor stack, each of which has a first source/drain terminal and a gate terminal connected to each other at a temperature-dependent voltage generator node. The reference voltage node is connected to the temperature-dependent voltage generator and provides a reference voltage substantially independent of temperature. A method for generating the temperature-independent reference voltage is also disclosed.
