Abstract
A device for generating a reference voltage includes a first non-volatile memory cell provided with a control-gate transistor and a reading transistor. The control-gate transistor includes a gate terminal, a body, a first conduction terminal and a second conduction terminal. The first conduction terminal and the second conduction terminal are connected together to form a control-gate terminal. The reading transistor includes a gate terminal that is connected to the gate terminal of the control-gate transistor to form a floating-gate terminal, a body, a third conduction terminal and a fourth conduction terminal. The device also includes a second, equivalent, memory cell. The source terminal of the first non-volatile memory cell and the source terminal of the second equivalent memory cell are connected together.
