Abstract: A reference voltage generating circuit comprising a depletion mode FET transistor connected to provide a constant current source coupled between a supply voltage and an output node. Three serially connected enhancement mode FET transistors are connected between the output node and a reference voltage. The first enhancement mode device is diode coupled to provide an enhancement threshold voltage offset, the second enhancement mode device has its gate electrode connected to the supply voltage to compensate for variations in supply voltage and the third enhancement device has its gate electrode connected to a source follower circuit. The source follower circuit comprises two serially connected depletion mode devices which receive an input from the output node and provide a feedback output to the gate electrode of the third enhancement mode device so that a constant voltage of a predetermined magnitude is maintained at the output node.
