Abstract: In a particular example, a low drift voltage reference system includes a Zener diode circuit, a voltage reduction circuit, and a proportional-to-absolute temperature (PTAT) circuit. The Zener diode circuit, which is coupled between a first supply terminal (e.g., VDD) and a second supply terminal (e.g., common), provides an input reference voltage level. The voltage reduction circuit provides another reduced version of the input reference voltage level. The PTAT circuit has first and second differential paths to provide an output reference voltage at an output node of the PTAT circuit, and a feedback path to draw feedback current from the output node to control the differential circuit.
