Abstract
According to one embodiment, a reference signal generating circuit includes a first nonlinear element that generates a first reference voltage, a second nonlinear element that generates a second reference voltage, a current controlling circuit that controls a current flowing to the first nonlinear element and a current flowing to the second nonlinear element based on an output voltage of the current controlling circuit itself, and N temperature characteristic adjusting elements (N is an integer of 2 or larger) that individually adjust the temperature characteristics of the output voltage of the current controlling circuit.
