A method for using a low voltage power supply to generate a temperature-independent voltage and temperature-dependent voltage is provided. Further, an apparatus that uses a low voltage power supply to generate a temperature-independent voltage and temperature-dependent voltage is provided. The apparatus generates a temperature-dependent voltage and a temperature-independent voltage using an amplifier stage that generates a feedback signal; a startup stage that generates a startup signal dependent on the feedback signal; and an output stage that outputs the temperature-dependent voltage and the temperature-independent voltage dependent on the feedback and startup signals.
