Abstract: A reference voltage generating circuit includes a reference voltage generating unit generating a uniform reference voltage in response to a bias voltage, a bias voltage generating unit generating the bias voltage, and a start-up circuit, after activating the bias voltage generating unit by receiving a first supply voltage, canceling a change of the first supply voltage to maintain a separation from the bias voltage generating unit. The circuit adopts a start-up circuit having a voltage distributing unit, thereby preventing a quiescent point of a bias voltage generating unit from entering a zero state and prevents a reference voltage from rising in a power-up state that an analog supply voltage rises according to a change of an external design environment such as a power, a temperature, a process parameter and the like, thereby generating a reference voltage more stably. As a result, current consumption and power consumption are minimized.
