Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a method of compensating for the temperature coefficient of a reference voltage includes generating a reference voltage that varies over temperature. A temperature compensated reference voltage is generated that compensates for a temperature variation in the voltage value of the reference voltage. In accordance with another embodiment, a temperature compensation circuit that compensates for temperature variation of a reference voltage is includes a reference voltage generator circuit having an output. A first impedance branch is coupled to the output of the reference voltage generator circuit and a second impedance branch is coupled to the output of the reference voltage generator circuit. A transconductance generation circuit having a first terminal connected to the first impedance branch and a second terminal connected to the second impedance branch.
