Abstract: A reference voltage generator for producing a regulated, temperature-compensated output voltage from an unregulated power supply voltage is provided herein. The reference voltage generator includes a pre-regulating circuit and a temperature-compensating circuit. The temperature compensating circuit includes a first series path comprising a first cascode current sources and a first resistor; a second series path comprising a second cascode current source, a first field effect transistor and a first diode; and a third series path comprising a third cascode current source, a second field effect transistor, a second resistor and a second diode. The first series path being connected to the second series path between the first field resistor and the first diode.
