Abstract:
A voltage reference circuit comprising: a main amplifier, having an output-terminal for providing a reference-voltage-output-signal, wherein the output-terminal is connected to the first-input-terminal; an offset-stage, connected to at least one of a first-input-terminal and a second-input-terminal of the main amplifier; and a PN junction. The PN junction is configured, in use, to provide a junction-voltage, between the first-junction-terminal and the second-junction-terminal, wherein the junction-voltage decreases with increasing temperature. The offset-stage is configured, in use, to provide an offset-voltage between the first-input-terminal and the second-input-terminal, wherein the offset-voltage increases with increasing temperature.

Claim (Index 4):
The voltage reference circuit of  claim 1 , wherein the offset-stage comprises:\n a larger-area-transistor, comprising\n a conduction channel connected in series between the output-terminal and the reference terminal; and \n a control terminal connected to one of either:\n the first-input-terminal; or \n the second-input-terminal, and \n \n a smaller-area-transistor, comprising:\n a conduction channel connected in series between the output-terminal and the reference terminal; and \n a control terminal connected to one of either:\n the first-input-terminal, when the control terminal of the larger-area-transistor is connected to the second-input-terminal; or \n the second-input-terminal, when the control terminal of the larger-area-transistor is connected to the first-input-terminal, and \n \n wherein a current-conduction-area of the larger-area-transistor is greater than a current-conduction-area of the smaller-area-transistor.
