[0085] The connection structure of the resistor R3, the resistor R4, the transistor Q3, and the transistor Q4 is mainly used to generate a branch current Ic. The expression of the current Ic is shown in formula (6).

[0087] In formula (6), Vd28 is the drain voltage of MOS tube M28, Vqe3 is the collector-emitter voltage of transistor Q3, r3 is the resistance value of resistor R3, and r4 is the resistance value of resistor R4.

[0088] The output circuit 233 includes a MOS transistor M30 , a MOS transistor M31 , and a port VOUT.

[0089] The drain of MOS tube M30 is connected to port VOUT, the gate of MOS tube M30 is connected to the drain of MOS tube M30, the source of MOS tube M30 is connected to the drain of MOS tube M31, the drain of MOS tube M31 is connected to the source of MOS tube M30, the gate of MOS tube M31 is connected to the gate of MOS tube M30, and the source of MOS tube M31 is grounded.

[0090] The circuit connection structure of the MOS transistor M30 and the MOS transistor M31 constitutes an output load, whose impedance is Rn. The current Io is the sum of the current Ib and the current Ic, and the system output reference voltage Vrt is the product of the current Io and the impedance Rn. Therefore, the expression of the system output reference voltage Vrt is shown in formula (7).

[0091]

[0092] In formula (7), rn is the impedance value of the impedance Rn, r4 is the resistance value of the resistor R4, Vqe1 is the collector-emitter voltage of the transistor Q1, r3 is the resistance value of R3, Vt is the thermal voltage, and LnN is the subthreshold slope factor of the MOS tube.

[0093] In formula (7), Vqe1 has a negative temperature coefficient, while (r4 / r3×Vt×LnN) has a positive temperature coefficient. The two terms cancel each other out, so that the reference voltage Vrt has a temperature coefficient close to zero. Since the reference voltage Vrt is generated based on the voltage Vqr, it has a lower temperature coefficient while having higher accuracy and a larger output voltage swing. The reference voltage Vrt is output through the port VOUT.
