Abstract
A proportional to absolute temperature, PTAT, circuit is provided. By judiciously combining circuit elements it is possible to generate a voltage at an output node of the circuit that is temperature dependent. Such a PTAT circuit can be used as a temperature sensor or can be combined with other temperature dependent circuits to provide a voltage reference.
