A voltage reference circuit includes a first circuit block configured to generate a proportional to absolute temperature current, the first circuit block comprising a current mirror amplifier, a second circuit block coupled to the first circuit block and configured to generated a complimentary to absolute temperature current, and a third circuit block coupled to both the first circuit block and the second circuit block. The second circuit block includes a multi-stage common-source amplifier. The third circuit block is configured to combine the proportional to absolute temperature current and the complimentary to absolute temperature current to generate a reference voltage at an output of the voltage reference circuit.
